Summary
Summary
Electronic Concepts provides 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. The author begins with an overview of several important electronic systems, discussing in detail the types of signals that circuits are used to process. In the following chapters, he deals with individual devices. For each device he presents a brief physical description and demonstrates the use of different models in describing the device's behaviour in a particular circuit application. SPICE computer simulations are used throughout the text to supplement analytic descriptions. The book contains over 500 circuit diagrams and figures, over 400 homework problems, and over 100 simulation and design exercises. It includes many worked examples and is an ideal textbook for introductory courses in electronics. Laboratory experiments are available via the internet.

Choice Review
Known for his An Introduction to Electrical Circuits and Electronic Devices (1987) and Microelectronic Circuits: A Laboratory Approach (1991), Krenz (Univ. of Colorado, Boulder) has produced an ideal resource for students in microelectronics. This thoroughly comprehensive, well-written work combines the treatment of microelectronic devices, circuits, and systems. Different models are shown to describe the various currently used devices and their behavior in negative feedback, operational amplifiers, and electronic power supplies. The work beautifully combines both analysis and synthesis of these active devices through a variety of techniques: i.e., worked examples, design examples, exercises, end-of-chapter problems, computer simulations, and references for further reading. Throughout are many worked examples and design techniques using SPICE computer simulations as well as Probe (MicroSim) graphs. Two appendixes--"Fabrication of Integrated Circuits" and "The Design Process"--supplement the body of the work. Additionally, laboratory experiments are also available on the World Wide Web and may be downloaded and printed using Portable Document Format (.pdf extension). Highly recommended for libraries serving engineering and physics undergraduates. Upper-division undergraduates; faculty; professionals. I. L. Kosow; City University of New York
