Description

Summary Tables

The tables in the book summarize vital results, concepts, and formulas. They are all collected here in a convenient reference for studying and as a problem-solving aid.

SPICE Simulation Support

In this section, you will find guides to help you set up SPICE simulations and the netlists and results for all examples in Appendix B.

Data Sheets

Circuit components and devices—such as diodes, amplifiers, and BJTs—have different specifications when manufactured by different companies. These specifications are listed on data sheets. Here we provide saved versions of top industrial data sheets so you can design your own circuits in class. The data sheets include:

  1. Commercial devices referred to in Microelectronic Circuits, 8th international edition, and some previous editions.
  2. All components referred to in the laboratory manual, Laboratory Explorations to Accompany Microelectronic Circuits.
  3. A representative selection of components introduced in Microelectronic Circuits, 8th international edition.

To obtain the most current data sheet for a device, follow the links to each manufacturer's own website, provided on the index to the data sheets.

A general introduction to the data sheets and their applications, by Kenneth C. (KC) Smith, is also available at the left.
