There is that scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy’s black-and-white world is quickly swept away by a wild tornado, her farmhouse dropped back to earth far, far away from the pigpens of dusty Kansas. You remember—she then walks to the door of her familiar monotone home and slowly opens it upon a Technicolor world, literally as well as metaphorically leaving the black-and-white of her…
A detailed introduction to modern microelectronics. Equal emphasis is placed on analog and digital circuits, and the applications of particular devices and circuits are described within the context of actual electronic systems.
In the 23 years since the publication of the first edition of this book, the field df analog integrated circuits has developed and matured. The initial groundwork was laid in bipolar technology, followed by a rapid evolution of MOS analog integrated circuits. Furthermore, BiCMOS technology (incorporating both bipolar and CMOS devices on one chip) has emerged as a serious contender to the or…
