Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design)

Unlike books currently on the market, this book attempts to satisfy two goals: combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and establish a strong connection with the contemporary world of digital systems. It will introduce a new way of looking not only at the treatment of circuits, but also at the treatment of introductory coursework in engineering in general. Using the concept of "abstraction," the book attempts to form a bridge between the world of physics and the world of large computer systems. In particular, it attempts to unify electrical engineering and computer science as the art of creating and exploiting successive abstractions to manage the complexity of building useful electrical systems. Computer systems are simply one type of electrical systems. • Balances circuits theory with practical digital electronics applications. • Illustrates concepts with real devices. • Supports the popular circuits and electronics course on the MIT OpenCourse Ware from which professionals worldwide study this new approach. • Written by two educators well known for their innovative teaching and research and their collaboration with industry. • Focuses on contemporary MOS technology.

+Focuses on contemporary MOS technology. "This landmark text presents the circuits foundations common to both the digital and analog domains, combining circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment and establishing a strong connection with the contemporary world of digital systems. Developed at MIT to support a radical departure in how these disciplines are taught and perceived, the text seamlessly bridges physics, electronics, and computation. The insights the authors have gleaned over many years in developing and teaching the course are exactly attuned to the complex digital/analog requirements faced by contemporary designers."--Jacket The circuit abstraction Resistive networks Network theorems Analysis of nonlinear circuits The digital abstraction The MOSFET switch The MOSFET amplifier The small-signal model Energy storage elements First-order transients in linear electrical networks Energy and power in digital circuits Transients in second-order circuits Sinusoidal steady state: impedance and frequency response Sinusoidal steady state: resonance The operational amplifier abstraction Diodes Maxwell's equations and the lumped matter discipline Trigonometric functions and identities Complex numbers Solving simultaneous linear equations
