The best-selling handbook that has established itself as a reference standard in the field of microelectronics has already trained over one million engineers. Based on the excellent pedagogical approach of Professors Adel Sedra and Kenneth Smith, the seventh edition of Microelectronic Circuits remains a benchmark of excellence and innovation.

Like the six previous editions, the goal of the book is to provide readers with all the knowledge they will need to be able to design and analyze electronic circuits, both analog and digital, of discrete components and integrated circuits. While the applications of integrated circuits are extensively covered, particular emphasis is placed on circuit design using transistors. This is a deliberate choice on the part of the authors, based on their belief that, even if most readers are not likely to pursue careers as integrated circuit designers, understanding what exists and what happens inside an integrated circuit provides opportunities for imaginative and innovative applications.

In addition to the updating and enriching of the content to keep pace with the latest developments in integrated circuit technology, the book provides the most extensive, complete, accurate, and flexible coverage of all areas concerning electronic circuits, with particular emphasis on their design. With rich illustrations, plenty of practical examples that are analyzed step by step, and hundreds of well-designed problems, Microelectronic Circuits is the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource for training the engineers of tomorrow in the analysis and design of electronic circuits.

In the Seventh Edition of the book, the presentation of the material has become more complete. Specifically, the coverage of MOSFET and BJT transistors and their applications in amplifier design, enriched with the new developments in technology, has been restructured to achieve the best possible educational outcome: two small, thematically parallel chapters are dedicated to a full description of these two types of transistors, while a new chapter explores in depth their use in amplifiers, placing particular emphasis on their similarities as well as their significant differences.
