Fundamentals of Electronic Circuit Design

This brief alternative to traditionally sequenced texts presents the fundamental principles of modern electronic circuit design. It features all the breadth of coverage you would find in a larger text, but at a depth that makes it easy to cover in one semester. The authors focus on modern, integrated circuit design and concentrate on two devices that are used in practice today: the metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and the bipolar junction transistor (BJT). Throughout, the text emphasizes a practical, applied approach with a strong emphasis on design. A second volume is available that includes advanced topics.
