Summary
Richard Jaeger and Travis Blalock present a balanced coverage of analog and digital circuits; students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques of modern electronic circuit design, analog and digital, discrete and integrated. A broad spectrum of topics are included in Microelectronic Circuit Design, which gives the professor the option to easily select and customize the material to satisfy a two-semester or three-quarter sequence in electronics. This new edition emphasizes design through the use of design examples and design notes. Excellent pedagogical elements include chapter opening vignettes, chapter objectives, "Electronics in Action" boxes, a problem-solving methodology, and "Design Note" boxes. The use of the well-defined problem-solving methodology presented in this text can significantly enhance an engineer's ability to understand the issues related to design. The design examples assist in building and understanding the design process.
McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.
