Microelectronic Circuit Design [Hardcover]

Richard C Jaeger (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0070324824 | ISBN-13: 978-0070324824 | Edition: 1

This text develops a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques of modern electronic circuit design, analog and digital, discrete and integrated. It provides balanced coverage of analog and digital circuits. A broad spectrum of topics is included, and material can be easily be selected to satisfy either a two- or three-semester sequence in electronics. Sufficient depth of material is also provided so the text can be used for senior electives in either digital or analog circuit design. Computer usage is integrated throughout the text in the form of circuit simulation using SPICE, problem solving using MATLAB, spreadsheets and computer programs. The text includes comprehensive problem sets at the end of each chapter that are keyed to the sections in the book and graded in level of difficulty. Numerous design problems are also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, June 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Microelectronic Circuit Design (Hardcover)

These reviews certainly demonstrate that everyone has a different point of view. I thought Jaeger's organization was excellent. Jaeger leads you through the material in a user friendly, step by step manner. He provides what I think is the best explanation of pn junction physics. Jaeger takes the space needed to explain fully. Compared to Jaeger,Sedra and Smith race through the material providing few intermediate examples. I think Jaeger TEACHES and Sedra and Smith seem to be summarizing for the benefit of someone who has learned elsewhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Microelectronic Circuit Design by Jaeger/Blalock, October 20, 2007

This review is from: Microelectronic Circuit Design (Hardcover)

I'm an EE student who has taken the first course using the Sedra/Smith book but because of a delay in taking the second course, will be using the Jaeger/Blalock text. I'm reviewing the material from the first course as it is laid out in the Jaegaer/Blalock book and find the same material more understandable with more relevant detail.

This review is from: Microelectronic Circuit Design (Hardcover)

Jaeger provides a rare balanced coverage of digital and analog electronic circuits along with a comprehensive review of device theory. Highly recommended as an undergraduate textbook for a sequence of courses at sophomore through senior levels, as well as a useful sourcebook.
