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

Similar to 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, discrete components and integrated. Although the applications of integrated circuits are extensively covered, particular emphasis is placed on the design of circuits with transistors.

This is a deliberate choice on the part of the authors, based on their belief that, even if most readers are not going to pursue a career as integrated circuit designers, the knowledge of what exists and what happens inside an integrated circuit offers opportunities for ingenious and innovative applications.

In addition to updating and enriching 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 serves as the most comprehensive and up-to-date source for educating tomorrow's engineers on the analysis and design of electronic circuits.

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