Microelectronic Circuits: Analysis and Designcombines a breadth-first approach toteaching electronics with a strong emphasison electronics design and simulation. Professor Rashid first introduces students to the generalcharacteristics of circuits (ICs) to preparethem for the use of circuit design and analysistechniques. He then moves on to a moredetailed study of devices and circuits and howthey operate within ICs. This approach makesthe text easily adaptable to both one- andtwo-term electronics courses. Students gain astrong systems perspective, and can readily fillin device-level detail as the course {and theirjob) requires. In addition, Rashid author offive successful texts on PSpice and powerelectronics directly addresses students needsfor applying theory to real-world designproblems and mastering the use of PSpice fortesting and verifying their designs. More than50% of the problems and examples in the textconcentrate on design, with PSpice usedextensively in the design problems. Key Features Gives students a solid working appreciation for circuit design issues and processes, with numerous worked-out design examples, end-of-chapter design problems, and design guidelines and procedures clearly outlined Provides a thorough introduction to the use of PSpice for testing, verification, and refinement of circuit designs. Includes text screen captures from PSpice-schematic capture and netlists'and a bound-in CDROM with both schematic files and circuit files (netlists) for all PSpice examples in machine-readable format Taking a 'breadth-first' approach, the book introduces electronics to students at the circuit level, then moves to the device level, making topic coverage more understandable to students and flexible for instructors Learning Objectives and Key Points help students clearly identify and assimilate the major ideas presented in each chapter The bound-in CD-ROM includes a demonstration copy of Electronics Workbench with special working demo files keyed to Rashid's text problems as an additional study aid
