For courses in Introductory Electronics for students majoring in electrical, computer, and related engineering disciplines. Using an innovative approach, this introduction to microelectronic circuits and devices views a circuit as an entire electronic system, rather than as a collection of individual devices. It provides students with the tools necessary to make intelligent choices in the design of analog and digital systems.
