Microelectronic Circuit Design [Hardcover]

Richard Jaeger (Author), Travis Blalock (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 5, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0073309486 | ISBN-13: 978-0073309484 | Edition: 3

Microelectronic Circuit Design is known for being a technically excellent text. The new edition has been revised to make the material more motivating and accessible to students while retaining a student-friendly approach. Jaeger has added more pedagogy and an emphaisis on design through the use of design examples and design notes. Some pedagogical elements include chapter opening vignettes, chapter objectives, "Electronics in Action" boxes, a problem solving methodology, and "design note" boxes.

The number of examples, including new design examples, has been increased, giving students more opportunity to see problems worked out. Additionally, some of the less fundamental mathematical material has been moved to the ARIS website.

In addition this edition comes with a Homework Management System called ARIS, which includes 450 static problems.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great combination of digital and analog electronics, January 20, 1999

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.
