Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
