(BQ) Part 1 book "Foundations of analog and digital electronic circuit" has contents: The circuit abstraction, resistive networks, network theorems, analysis of nonlinear circuits, the digital abstraction, the small-signal model,. and other contents. | In Praise of Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits ‘‘This book, crafted and tested with MIT sophomores in electrical engineering and computer science over a period of more than six years, provides a comprehensive treatment of both circuit analysis and basic electronic circuits. Examples such as digital and analog circuit applications, field-effect transistors, and operational amplifiers provide the platform for modeling of active devices, including large-signal, small-signal (incremental), nonlinear and piecewise-linear models. The treatment of circuits with energy-storage elements in transient and sinusoidal-steady-state circumstances is thorough and accessible. Having taught from drafts of this book five times, I believe that it is an improvement over the traditional approach to circuits and electronics, in which the focus is on analog circuits alone.’’ - P A U L E . G R A Y , Massachusetts Institute of Technology ‘‘My overall reaction to this book is overwhelmingly favorable. Well-written and pedagogically sound, the book provides a good balance between theory and practical application. I think that combining circuits and electronics is a very good idea. Most introductory circuit theory texts focus primarily on the analysis of lumped element networks without putting these networks into a practical electronics context. However, it is becoming more critical for our electrical and computer engineering students to understand and appreciate the common ground from which both fields originate.’’ - G A R Y M A Y , Georgia Institute of Technology ‘‘Without a doubt, students in engineering today want to quickly relate what they learn from courses to what they experience in the electronics-filled world they live in. Understanding today’s digital world requires a strong background in analog circuit principles as well as a keen intuition about their impact on electronics. In Foundations. . . Agarwal and Lang present a unique and powerful approach for an .
