Microelectronic Circuits, Fourth Edition is an extensive revision of the classic text by Adel S. Sedra and K. C. Smith. The primary objective of this text remains the development of the student's ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, both analog and digital, discrete and
integrated. Fundamental developments in modern technology, particularly the increased emphasis on integrated circuits and the profusion of advances in digital electronics, require that engineers today be aptly equipped with knowledge of these concepts and techniques. In this edition, the authors
present these concepts and techniques earlier on in the text and in greater detail than in previous editions.
Features
A Digital Electronics Emphasis
This edition fully integrates the fundamental concepts of digital electronics into the first five chapters, and also devotes two complete chapters (13 and 14) to digital electronics at the end of the text. These provide a complete introduction to both analog and digital principles for a modern
introductory course on microelectronic circuits.
The MOSFET
The material on MOSFET has been entirely rewritten to reflect the shift toward integrated circuit technology and the vast number of changes in MOS IC design.
Device Physics...Just in Time
Sedra/Smith integrates device physics into the chapters as needed and where appropriate.
SPICE: Not just how, but why and when
SPICE has been incorporated not only at the end of the appropriate device chapters, but also at the end of most chapters throughout the text.
A Complete Support Package
New CD! Now with KC's Problems and Solutions, which contains 600 problems and solutions for student practice. Also includes Interactive Examples, EDN Design Ideas, and Electronics Workbench Multisim 6, with 30 demo circuits and 100 additional circuits for use with the full or student versions. The
CD runs on Windows with minimal memory requirements.

Good for learning, excellent as a reference.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

This text serves well as a reference, and has grown into something of a behemoth in more recent additions. I found this addition to be rather cohesive, although there was some forward-referencing and a lot of back-referencing. The material is often spread across chapters (especially digital logic) which makes readings a little more difficult to navigate for a more modular course. All in all, explanations are generally clear and examples are thorough.

Good book for introduction course

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2003

Verified Purchase

This is a good book for introduction course, no matter what others say. I used this book for the first class of Analog circuit many years ago.
If one finds this book difficult, they may not follow the concepts very well. Here are the reasons one may find this book difficult. 1. They just learn by examples, not learn/understand the concepts. Learning is just reading examples before Exam. This won't work after school for sure. (I think that is very poor learning.) 2. They do not have good basic math skills 3. They do not have basic background of semiconductor. This book is for engineers. If you think you will be engineers, this book is for you. This book is not really that difficult If you have semiconductor and good math background. It cannot be bad book. I have many books that are unreadable. This is not one of them. If you found this is very difficult, then you may not want to be engineer. I suggest one finds this book really difficult (after spending time to read) to reconsider the career since one won't want to waste 4 years of time and money to get a degree that does fit the real his/her career. Nowaday, engineer is just as dificult as other careers to find a job and the pay is not such attactive (semiconductor comapanies have been downturn for 4 years now)
I am in semiconductor field. Circuit is not my favor, it is very dry and routine. But the subject is not really that difficult (becuase most theories are not very involved compared to semiconductor field). If you want to be challenged, go for semiconductor physics books or even seminconductor Journals from IEEE, they are much more confusing than circuit books. Some concepts in semiconductor physics can take long time to understand (the math is much more involved than circuit books. One may have to learn the new math from ground up before to study semiconductor physics (e.g Quantum Mechanic). Cicuit math is just basic integration and basic math operation. The circuit math is tedous but not difficult.
Any book has error. This book may have few errors but it is easy to follow. The exercises are challenging. One will spend whole day to solve few questions. Some questions cannot be solved (I was told by a Professor if I recalled correctly). If one spent time to read this book, they will be rewarded. If one found it difficult, then he may need to reconsider if he picked the right field (engineer). It is because this is good and clear book (compared to many books I read. Especially some books wrote by our professors. I was in one of top 5 EE program in US. Some books wrote by our professors were unreadable but he assigned it for his class. Those books should never be published.)
One should know how to get answers by hand not by pspice only. Pspice is just a tool. Pspice cannot design circuits for you. If one knows the theory and know how to do the calculations by hand, he/she can learn pspice in a few days. Even one does not know pspice or spice at all, he knows circuits very well and can do by hand. I guarantee he will have a lot of offers. This is true for any subject, one should always know how to do it by hand. IMO, one should not use Maple, Mathcad unless he knows how to do calculus, matrix etc by hand. Otherwise, he does not learn much. He just learned how to 'pass' the class and it won't help in the interview or career.
If one still find difficult, he/she may not fit engineering field. This book is just the beginning. There are more much difficult books coming later in the engineering courses. If you follow the advice above, you will be much happy in the long run.

I had to get it for a class but i wouldn't get it on my own. The book lacks explainations and examples that would normaly be expected in this level of a book.
