Overview

Microelectronic circuits are often viewed as abstract and challenging, but this book makes them accessible by focusing on core principles and practical intuition rather than rote memorization. Beginning with the essentials of circuit analysis and semiconductor devices, it progresses through amplifiers, feedback, differential and operational amplifiers, and concludes with a wide range of oscillator circuits. Extensive simulations are integrated throughout, supported by diagrams, derivations, and real-world examples that connect theory to practice. Designed for both classroom instruction and self-study, the book meets the needs of undergraduate engineering students while also serving as a valuable reference for practitioners seeking a clearer, more intuitive understanding of electronic circuits. Key features: * Serves as an introductory textbook for undergraduate microelectronics courses. * Emphasizes the underlying principles of electronic circuits to help students build strong intuition. * Demonstrates major concepts and analysis techniques, enabling students to derive equations with confidence when tackling circuits. * Integrates Multisim simulation to reduce cognitive load and enhance comprehension. * Features two new chapters on circuit analysis and oscillator design, with expanded coverage throughout.
