Microelectronic Circuit Design is known for being a technically excellent text. The new edition has been revised to make the material more motivating and accessible to students. A new co-author, Travis Blalock, has joined the author team to assist in providing a student-friendly approach.

A pedagogical framework has been included to include chapter opening vignettes, chapter objectives, “Electronics in Action” boxes, a problem solving methodology, and “design note” boxes.

More examples, including new design examples, have been built-in, giving students more opportunity to see problems worked out. Additionally, some of the less fundamental mathematical material has been moved to the website.
