- More than 70% of the homework problems are new or revised. To ensure accuracy, the authors along with a peer reviewer have solved all problems themselves.
- New design and evaluation problems have been added to chapters 3, 4, 7, 11, 12, and 14 providing students with the opportunity to choose between two or more competing designs selecting the best solution. More design and evaluation homework problems have been added where appropriate. New evaluation examples include:
- Example 4-22 Temperature Sensor Interface Circuits
- Example 7-11 First-order RC Circuits
- Example 12-7 First-order High-pass filters
- Example 12-24 Piezoelectric Pressure Transducers
- Revised Chapter Openers include new introductory material and carefully designed learning objectives that are supported with homework problems and are cross-referenced to in-chapter examples.
- New application examples relating to electronics, computer engineering, signal processing, instrumentation, and biomedical engineering have been added to chapters 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 13, and 14. New application examples include:
- Example 2-19 Binary Current Divider
- Example 5-19 ECG Waveform
- Example 11-25 Digital Clock Delay Skew
- Example 13-13 Signal Sampling
- Revised Chapter 12 on Frequency Response provides a better, more compact presentation of the topic.
- Extensive revision of Chapter 14 on Active Filter Design offers real practical advice on designing multi-pole active filters.
