An Introduction to Digital and Analog Integrated Circuits and Applications - Sanjit K. Mitra [Book Reviews

Abstract

This book is intended for use in a first course on electronic circuits and systems for students at the junior level following a sophomore level course on linear circuit analysis. The author has chosen an organization of material for this single volume on electronic circuits and systems that is unique, to my knowledge. Among the topics addressed in this concise text are combinational and sequential logic design, analog and digital computation, linear amplification and filtering, nonlinear analog functions, and analog-to-digital (A/D) and digitalto- analog (D/A) conversions. The author treats modern integrated circuit (IC) modules, such as gates and op amps, as multiterminal electronic building blocks that perform specific electronic functions and have known voltage and current relationships between terminals. IC fabrication technology and internal transistor-level IC module operation are not discussed. This approach allows the author to concentrate on presenting a wide variety of analog and digital circuit function modules and many of their applications. Numerous worked analysis and design examples are included in the chapters, as are over 300 supplementary problems. Illustrations, tables, and figures are clear, easy to read, and usually close to their associated descriptions. References are included at the end of each chapter. The index is detailed and cross-referenced.The numerous worked examples and interesting homework problems are considered especially valuable and are appreciated by students who have used manuscript copies of the book in the classroom.
