tailieunhanh - Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits

This book is designed to serve as a first course in an electrical engineering or an electrical engineering and computer science curriculum, providing students at the sophomore level a transition from the world of physics to the world of electronics and computation. The book attempts to satisfy two goals: Combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and establish a strong connection with the contemporary worlds of both digital and analog systems | Ị Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits In Praise of Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits This book crafted and tested with MIT sophomores in electrical engineering and computer science over a period of more than six years provides a comprehensive treatment of both circuit analysis and basic electronic circuits. Examples such as digital and analog circuit applications field-effect transistors and operational amplifiers provide the platform for modeling of active devices including large-signal small-signal incremental nonlinear and piecewise-linear models. The treatment of circuits with energy-storage elements in transient and sinusoidal-steady-state circumstances is thorough and accessible. Having taught from drafts of this book five times I believe that it is an improvement over the traditional approach to circuits and electronics in which the focus is on analog circuits alone. -PAUL E. GRAY Massachusetts Institute of Technology My overall reaction to this book is overwhelmingly favorable. Well-written and pedagogically sound the book provides a good balance between theory and practical application. I think that combining circuits and electronics is a very good idea. Most introductory circuit theory texts focus primarily on the analysis of lumped element networks without putting these networks into a practical electronics context. However it is becoming more critical for our electrical and computer engineering students to understand and appreciate the common ground from which both felds originate. -GARY MAY Georgia Institute of Technology Withouta doubt students in engineering today want to quickly relate what they learn from courses to what they experience in the electronics-filled world they live in. Understanding today s digital world requires a strong background in analog circuit principles as well as a keen intuition about their impact on electronics. In Foundations. Agarwal and Lang present a unique and powerful approach for
