本書序言

New to the Eighth Edition
The most important change in the eighth edition is that two new coauthors have joined our team: Tony Chan Carusone of the University of Toronto and Vincent Gaudet of the University of Waterloo.
While maintaining the philosophy and pedagogical approach of the first seven editions, several changes have been made to both organization and coverage. Our goal in making structural changes has been to increase modularity and thus flexibility for the instructor, without causing disturbance to courses currently using the seventh edition. Changes in coverage are necessitated by the continuing advances in technology which make some topics of greater relevance and others of less interest.
As well, advances in IC process technology require that the numbers used in the examples, exercises, and end-of-chapter problems be updated to reflect the parameters of newer generations of IC technologies (e.g., some problems utilize the parameters of the 28-nm CMOS process). This ensures that students are acquiring a real-world perspective on technology.
The guiding principle in this revision has been to make the book easier to teach and learn from. In pursuit of this goal, the following specific and noteworthy changes have been made:
1. New End-of-Chapter Problems. About half of the approximately 1400 end-of-chapter problems are new or revised. To aid the instructor in deciding which of this large number of problems to assign, we have carefully selected a subset that we have designated essential problems. This should also be helpful to students using the book for self-study. The Instructor's Solutions Manual (ISM) has been thoroughly revised by the authors. It includes complete solutions for all exercises and end-of-chapter problems.
2. Summary Tables. New and existing summary tables have been combined together and made available on the website. This collection of tables is an important resource for the student in studying and as a reference while doing homework problems.
3. Improved Organization. While maintaining the very successful modular organization of the seventh edition, we have reduced the number of parts of the eighth edition to three. Specifically, the filters and oscillators chapter is now in Part II: Analog Integrated Circuits.
4. Streamlined Coverage and Book Size. Almost every chapter has been revised and streamlined with emphasis on the essentials. This has resulted in a substantial reduction in the size of the book (by almost 200 pages). However, removed material has been made available on the website for those who want to continue to use it. Particular chapters that have been reduced are: Chapter 11 (Output Stages and Power Amplifiers); Chapter 12 (Op Amp Circuits); Chapter 13 (Filters and Oscillators); and Part III: Digital Integrated Circuits.
5. Early Coverage of Technology Scaling and Moore's Law. The discussion of technology scaling and Moore's law is now started in Chapter 5 (MOSFETs). It is then referenced throughout the book, and resumed in Chapter 15 (Digital Design) where the effects of scaling on the trinity of digital design-speed, power, and area-are considered.
6. Modernizing the Study of Diodes. Chapter 3 has been reorganized to highlight the different levels of abstraction and accuracy in diode modeling. While the coverage of standard material has been streamlined and reduced somewhat, newer topics have been expanded and/or included such as photodiodes, light-emitting diodes, application of diodes in electronic discharge (ESD) protection, etc.
7. Clearer Derivations and Better Explanations. Three chapters in Part II: Analog Integrated Circuits, have been thoroughly revised to simplify and clarify the presentation and to provide better denvat10ns. These are Chapter 7 (Building Blocks of IC Amplifiers), specifically the treatment of the CG and CB amplifiers and the study of advanced current mirrors· Chapter 8 (Differential and Multistage Amplifiers), specifically the treatment of common mode gain and CMRR , DC offsets, an

本書特色

Microelectronic Circuits, Eighth Edition, is intended as a text for the core courses inelectronic circuits taught to majors in electrical and computer engineering. It shouldalso prove useful to engineers and other professionals wishing to update their knowledgethrough self-study.
As was the case with the first seven editions, the objective of this book is to develop inthe reader the ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, both analog and digital,discrete and integrated. While the application of integrated circuits is covered, emphasisis placed on transistor circuit design, This is done because of our belief that even if themajority of those studying this book were not to pursue a career in IC design, knowledgeof what is inside the IC package would enable intelligent and innovative application ofsuch chips. Furthermore, with the advances in VLSI technology and design methodology,IC design itself has become accessible to an increasing number of engineers.
