Product DescriptionMicroelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design in its fourth edition continues to provide foundation to undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students for analysing and designing both analog and digital electronic circuits. An accessible approach to learning through clear writing and practical pedagogy has become the hallmark of Microelectronics: Circuit Analysis and Design by Donald Neamen. Now in its fourth edition the text builds upon its strong pedagogy and tools for student assessment with key updates as well as revisions that allow for flexible coverage of op amps. Salient Features: 1. Addition of over 250 new Exercise and Test Your Understanding Problems. 2. Addition of over 580 new end-of-chapter problems. 3. Addition of over 50 new open-ended Design Problems in the end-of-chapter problems sections. 4. Addition of over 65 new Computer Simulation Problems in the end-of-chapter problems sections. 5. Voltage levels in circuits were updated to more closely match modern day electronics. 6. MOSFET device parameters were updated to more closely match modern day electronics. 7. Chapter 9 was rewritten such that ideal op-amp circuits can be studied as a first topic in electronics. 8. Maintained the mathematical rigor necessary to more clearly understand basic circuit operation and characteristics.About the AuthorDonald A. Neamen is a professor emeritus in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico where he taught for more than 25 years. He received his Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico and then became an electronics engineer at the Solid State Sciences Laboratory at Hanscom Air Force Base. In 1976, he joined the faculty in the ECE department at the University of New Mexico, where he specialised in teaching semiconductor physics and devices courses and electronic circuits courses. He is still a part-time instructor in the department. He also recently taught for a semester at the University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University (UM-SJTU) Joint Institute in Shanghai, China. In 1980, Professor Neamen received the Outstanding Teacher Award for the University of New Mexico. In 1983 and 1985, he was recognized as Outstanding Teacher in the College of Engineering by Tau Beta Pi. In 1990, and each year from 1994 through 2001, he received the Faculty Recognition Award, presented by graduating ECE students. He was also honored with the Teaching Excellence Award in the College of Engineering in 1994. In addition to his teaching, Professor Neamen served as Associate Chair of the ECE department for several years and has also worked in industry with Martin Marietta, Sandia National Laboratories, and Raytheon Company. He has published many papers and is the author of Semiconductor Physics and Devices: Basic Principles, 3rd edition and An Introduction to Semiconductor Devices.
