- Design Emphasis. Considers circuit design throughout and provides an early opportunity for students to practice open-ended design.
- Introduces circuit design in Chapter 3 and covers it throughout (in Chapters 4, 6, 7, 8 11, 12, and 13).
- Approaches transfer function design through a novel method of partitioning the transfer function into simpler factors that can be easily designed using cascadable, scalable modules.
- Includes many design examples, exercises, and homework problems—all identified with a (D) for design.
- Provides a Design Table of Contents that locates the Design Examples in the text.
- Analyisis. Emphasizes the analysis techniques used in subsequent upper division courses in electronics, signal processing, control, and communication systems, such as
- Introduces Op Amps and systems point of view through the use of block diagrams and transform methods of describing signals and circuits.
- Provides earlier-than-usual exposure to the Op Amp—the predominant linear active element. Introduces it in Chapter 4, and then uses it to realize various signal processing functions.
- Covers Op Amps frequently throughout the text—especially in the chapter on analog filter design.
- Pedagogy. Incorporates a structured, behaviorally motivated pedagogy built around broad Course Objectives and narrower, single-idea En Route Objectives—to allow students to identify the ultimate goals and focus on the intermediate steps required to achieve those goals.
- All text examples and exercises are designed to help students develop the problem solving abilities needed to meet the En Route and Course Objectives.
- The behavioral nature of the objectives permits easy assessment of goal attainment by both students and faculty.
- Examples and Problems. Features over 300 worked-out examples that apply basic chapter concepts to specific problems.
- 45 examples are Application Notes (inspired by data sheets the IC manufacturers provide) and Design Examples that illustrate practical application and real world constraints.
- Over 230 exercises with answers allow students to practice the analysis or design technique discussed in the preceding example.
- Includes over 950 homework problems—directly related to En Route Objectives.
