Hallmark Features

-
Emphasis on circuit design. Integrated treatment of analysis and design enhances students' understanding of circuit fundamentals. The text gets students involved in design early, so they can recognize how their newly acquired knowledge can be applied to practical situations.
-
Early introduction to the Op-Amp. The authors introduce students to the ideal Op-Amp early and often, allowing you to teach practical designs that students can actually build and use.
-
A complete chapter on Signals. Treating signals separately supports the authors' emphasis on signal processing and characterization. This approach also gives students a familiarity with the important basic waveforms needed to deal with the mathematical challenges inherent in solving circuit differentials equations and Laplace transforms.
-
Laplace first. The text's early introduction to Laplace transforms saves time spent on transitional circuit analysis techniques that will be superseded later on. Laplace transforms are used to explain all of the important dynamic circuit concepts, such as zero state and zero-input responses, impulse and step responses, convolution, frequency response, and Bode plots, and analog filter design. This approach provides students with a solid foundation for follow-up courses.
-
Learning Objectives. Explicitly stated learning objectives reinforce key concepts and help students assess their progress. Each chapter has several learning objectives, supported by at least ten homework problems specifically designed to test the student's mastery of the objective.
-
Integrated treatment of computer tools. Presents five popular programs: Excel, MATLAB, Mathcad, Electronics Workbench, and PSpice. You may choose to use any, none, or all of the various software tools in your course.
