Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits

Description 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. Readership digital system designers; analog and digital circuit designers; Quotes The book issued by two professors at MIT is intended to initiate a new approach in presenting and developing analog and digital electronics. Traditionally, analog and digital elements and circuits are given in separate courses. Here, the authors want to show that in presenting both topics (analog and digital), a deeper insight of the real problems of the actual electronics is obtained.- Dumitru Stanomir (Bucuresti) Contents 1 The Circuit Abstraction 2 Resistive Networks 3 Network Theorems 4 Analysis of Nonlinear Circuits 5 The Digital Abstraction 6 The MOSFET Switch 7 The MOSFET Amplifier 8 The Small Signal Model 9 Energy Storage Elements 10 First-order Transients 11 Energy and Power in Digital Circuits 12 Transients in Second Order Circuits 13 Sinusoidal Steady State 14 Sinusoidal Steady State: Resonance 15 The Operational Amplifier Abstraction 16 Diodes Author Information By Anant Agarwal , MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA; and Jeffrey Lang , MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
