Microelectronic Circuit Design (3rd/Intl Edn)

Microelectronic Circuit Design is known for being a technically excellent text. The new edition has been revised to make the material more motivating and accessible to students while retaining a student-friendly approach. Jaeger has added more pedagogy and an emphaisis on design through the use of design examples and design notes. Some pedagogical elements include chapter opening vignettes, chapter objectives, "Electronics in Action" boxes, a problem solving methodology, and "design note" boxes.

The number of examples, including new design examples, has been increased, giving students more opportunity to see problems worked out. Additionally, some of the less fundamental mathematical material has been moved to the ARIS website.

In addition this edition comes with a Homework Management System called ARIS, which includes 450 static problems.

Richard Jaeger earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Florida. Professor Jaeger was one of the first three faculty members appointed Distinguished University Professor by Auburn University. His teaching awards include the Birdsong Merit Teaching Award and selection by ECE undergraduate students as Outstanding Electrical Engineering Faculty Member. In 1995 he was named Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lecturer. His current research interests include solid-state circuits and devices, electronic packaging, piezoresistive stress sensors, high heat flux cooling, low temperature electronics, VLSI design, and noise in electronic devices and circuits.

Travis Blalock is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Virginia.
