Fundamentals of Microelectronics

With the advances in the semiconductor and communication industries, it has become increasingly important for electrical engineers to develop a good understanding of microelectronics. This book addresses the need for a text that teaches microelectronics from a modern and intuitive perspective. Guided by my industrial, research, and academic experience, I have chosen the topics, the order, and the depth and breadth so as to efficiently impart analysis and design principles that the students will find useful as they enter the industry or graduate school. One salient feature of this book is its synthesis- or design-oriented approach. Rather than pulling a circuit out of a bag and trying to analyze it, I set the stage by stating a problem that we face in real life (e.g., how to design a cellphone charger). I then attempt to arrive at a solution using basic principles, thus presenting both failures and successes in the process. When we do arrive at the final solution, the student has seen the exact role of each device as well as the logical thought sequence behind synthesizing the circuit.

Principles of Measurement Systems 4th Edition

Measurement is an essential activity in every branch of technology and science. We need to know the speed of a car, the temperature of our working environment, the flow rate of liquid in a pipe, the amount of oxygen dissolved in river water. It is important, therefore, that the study of measurement forms part of engineering and science courses in further and higher education. The aim of this book is to provide the fundamental principles of measurement which underlie these studies.
The book treats measurement as a coherent and integrated subject by presenting it as the study of measurement systems. A measurement system is an information system which presents an observer with a numerical value corresponding to the variable being measured. A given system may contain four types of element: sensing, signal conditioning, signal processing and data presentation elements.
The book is divided into three parts. Part A (Chapters 1 to 7) examines general systems principles. This part begins by discussing the static and dynamic characteristics that individual elements may possess and how they are used to calculate the overall system measurement error, under both steady and unsteady conditions. In later chapters, the principles of loading and two-port networks, the effects of interference and noise on system performance, reliability, maintainability and choice using economic criteria are explained. Part B (Chapters 8 to 11) examines the principles, characteristics and applications of typical sensing, signal conditioning, signal processing and data presentation elements in wide current use. Part C (Chapters 12 to 19) examines a number of specialised measurement systems which have important industrial applications. These are flow measurement systems, intrinsically safe systems, heat transfer, optical, ultrasonic, gas chromatography, data acquisition, communication and intelligent multivariable systems.
