Microelectronic Circuits, Eighth Edition, is intended as a text for the core courses inelectronic circuits taught to majors in electrical and computer engineering. It shouldalso prove useful to engineers and other professionals wishing to update their knowledgethrough self-study.As was the case with the first seven editions, the objective of this book is to develop inthe reader the ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, both analog and digital,discrete and integrated. While the application of integrated circuits is covered, emphasisis placed on transistor circuit design, This is done because of our belief that even if themajority of those studying this book were not to pursue a career in IC design, knowledgeof what is inside the IC package would enable intelligent and innovative application ofsuch chips. Furthermore, with the advances in VLSI technology and design methodology,IC design itself has become accessible to an increasing number of engineers.
