Analog Circuit Design: Discrete & Integrated

DescriptionAnalog Circuit Design: Discrete and Integrated is written by enthusiastic circuit practitioner Sergio Franco. This text places great emphasis on developing intuition and physical insight. The numerous examples and problems have been carefully thought out to promote problem solving methodologies of the type engineers apply daily on the job. Each chapter provides a fairly comprehensive coverage of its title subject. SPICE has been integrated throughout the text both as a pedagogical aid to confer more immediately to a new concept and as a validation tool for hand calculations. PSPICE is used to bring out nuances that would be too complex for hand calculations.Key FeaturesBoth bipolar and CMOS technologies are covered.Both discrete and integrated designs are covered.Semiconductor theory is presented in sufficient depth to reflect the daily needs of a practicing engineer in industry.Table of ContentsDiodes and the PN JunctionBipolar Junction TransistorsMOS Field-Effect TransistorsBuilding Blocks for Analog Integrated CircuitsAnalog Integrated CircuitsFrequency and Time ResponsesFeedback, Stability, and Noise
