Richard Jaeger and Travis Blalock have revised Microelectronic Circuit Design with the goal of producing a technically excellent book that is both student-friendly and practical. The second edition continues its focus on providing a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques of modern electronic circuit design.

New to this edition is an increased emphasis on practical design principles, real world applications, and problem solving. To this end, a pedagogical framework has been added that includes 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. Over 500 new problems have been added to the book.

The Jaeger and Blalock text is accompanied by a student Cd containing the student version of PSpice and PSpice files for select circuits in the book. Also, there is a robust On-Line Learning Center, which includes PowerPoints, solutions, and web references among other assets.

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.
