Microelectronic Circuit and Devices : International Edition

This introduction to microelectronic circuits and devices views a circuit as an entire electronic system, rather than as a collection of individual devices.

Providing students with the tools necessary to make intelligent choices in the design of analogue and digital systems, it introduces the MOSFET, BJT, and JFET in a single chapter on device properties; covers the non-ideal properties of op-amps using an approach that can be understood by those with little prior knowledge of transistor theory; and contains an optional discussion of photonic devices - including the photodiode, phototransistor, light-emitting diode, and laser diode.
