This market-leading textbook continues its standard of excellence and innovation built on the solid pedagogical foundation that instructors expect from Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. Smith. All material in the sixth edition of Microelectronic Circuits is thoroughly updated to reflect changes in technology-CMOS technology in particular. These technological changes have shaped the book's organization and topical coverage, making it the most current resource available for teaching tomorrow's engineers how to analyze and design electronic circuits. Features - Streamlined organization. Short, modular chapters can be rearranged to suit any class organization. Topics that can be skipped on a first reading, while the student is grasping the basics, or that look ahead to advanced industrial applications, are clearly marked. - Digital Integrated Circuits covered in a new, separate section, to make it easier to teach Computer Engineering students. - Parallel Treatment of MOSFETs and BJTs. 90% of the market works with MOSFETs, so this vital topic is placed first in the textbook. The chapters on BJTs and MOSFETs are exactly parallel, so instructors can teach whichever one first that they prefer, and speed through the second topic by concentrating only on the differences between the two transistors. - Frequency response in a separate chapter. Frequency response is now condensed into a single chapter, rather than being integrated within other topics. Ancillaries: Instructor Note Instructor's Resource CD is bound in to ISM-ISBN 9780195340303: * Instructor's Solutions Manual contains typed solutions to all in-text exercises and end-of-chapter problems. * PowerPoint Overheads on CD contain all of the figures with captions, plus summary tables, from the main text.

I'm a Sophomore ECE major and was assigned this textbook for a 200 level course. The book feels like it is written for people who already know the material, but want a place to refresh their memory. I've put serious time and energy into this book trying to learn from it and it has been a nightmare. If you're a professor or grad student this may be a great source but I can't recommend it to anyone looking to learn anything.
The widely available paperback international edition (6th ed; ISBN13:978-0199738519) is sufficiently dissimilar to the hardback domestic edition that students should be warned against the purchase. This is the first time i've found an international edition that'd been edited in this manner. A few of the chapters are merged and reordered, and the problem sets are smaller and reordered. The exercises themselves are the same for the most part, but without a copy of the domestic text, a student is unable to know which to work for a class. If you're purchasing the book for your own reading, this really won't matter (though fwiw a paperback this ridiculously big seems like it'd be a pain to shelve or carry)
I'm just giving it three stars because this isn't really a review.
REVISION:
It's been a few semesters and i've run through some other books in the interim. To make a brief review of the book itself, let me just say that i keep this one at my desk as a reference. The material is very complete and helps fill the gaps where other books have left off.
Well I am half through the semester with this book. And I can't express how much I hate it. I am now looking for a supplementary book. The examples explain next to nothing. The explanation of the theory is okay (not horrible,) but there is no justification for most of the math and formulas used. Much of the book's examples consist of here is the question and here is the solution, how they found it, who knows. There are also several incorrect solution to add to the excitement. In addition to this, nothing is explained in any particular order. Information you need to figure out an example problem in one section, won't be provided until several sections later, this is done w/o any acknowledgement or cues from the authors. The first day of class, our instructor warned us about how bad this book is, and it is by now play to see. Unfortunately I also have to use this book for the following class next semester. It is hard to believe that this is a 6th edition.
I'll start off with the fact that I read this book in lieu of going to class, because my professor essentially taught from the slides that came with the teacher's edition.
First, the good points:
-It's a relatively easy read, compared to many textbooks. It's not impossible to understand, given that you've got a strong algebra background.
-There are many examples to help with much of the text, and they go step by step through solving them.
Next, the bad:
-It's a very dry read, and with between 50-100 pages per chapter (They get longer as you go further into the book), a little humor now and then would help keep my attention better.
-Also, they skip some algebraic steps in their derivations, and so I had to sit there for more time than necessary to figure out where exactly they were getting this equation from, despite them telling me which equations they used to get it. Don't get me wrong: I am very good at math, but when you skip 3 or 4 steps in between, it's going to make me do a double-take.
-There are a lot of examples, but not enough. The end-chapter homework problems are much more advanced then their basic examples, and assume you understand things that you may not even realize applied in certain problems. Perhaps a supplementary text full of strictly examples would be a good addition to this one.
I have been studying this text on my own, and find it to be quite a challenge. The subject concerns "quantum" devices, such as transistors. These are nonlinear devices, and most of the text seems to address discussing various linear approximations for technological applications. I like to dedicate several hours of study each day to the text. The authors expend a great deal of effort in gradually unfolding the subject, and in such a way as not to overwhelm the reader.
The text is very long. Studying it can sometimes get to be quite a drain, and I think that avoiding some of the end-of-chapter problems on a first reading might be a good strategy. I have been solving all of the problems posed in the course of reading a chapter, and spend a great deal of attention to the tables and figures in the book. This makes for slow progress, and I have seen that sometimes I am able to cover no more than ten pages of the text in a day's work. This has been a difficult subject for me (and not simply because I am studying on my own without the help of teachers or tutors), but I have found the mathematical models to be quite interesting, and the math, despite being fairly simple and basic, is pretty. (Linear approximations can be surprisingly pretty.) Progress often involves tedious, hard work. Sometimes I make mistake after mistake, before achieving understanding and solving problems. This is certainly the down side to studying a field on one's own. One advantage to studying on your own is that you tend to invent your own methods and original insights come as well. On the other hand, I cannot recommend this book as a hobby, but the subject is very important if you have certain interests and worth some dedicated effort. I do definitely see that it has improved my understanding and appreciation of electronics.
It is important to go beyond the mathematical models to an intuitive understanding. This has come gradually for me from working at this book through hundreds of pages. Seeing beyond the mathematical formulas is a struggle. On balance, I often feel that I have made just modest progress, with each step forward only a small victory in learning, but overall this book has also been wonderfully insightful, and has given me a deep appreciation for electrical engineering. I have learned to love this subject, despite the hardship. I gave the book four stars instead of five, because I think that the authors have made the book (either intentionally or unintentionally) somewhat more difficult than is warranted by the subject matter.
The authors cram too many details into their book, without enough solid explanations. In my view, this leads to mere memorization of formulas, without any real understanding of concepts or intuition about circuits. Because of this, once one has grasped the basics of what the authors are discussing, it is often warranted just to skip ahead in the book sometimes, and return to a skipped section only later if it proves necessary. I am not claiming that these authors are guilty of the following, but sometimes authors write books for the matured student (possibly to attract teachers to select a textbook more than its value to students) rather than the student at a juvenile stage when he or she is na?ve, and would benefit more from a focus on understanding and intuition, rather than memorization. Later, when a student has mastered a field, a book that lays out formula after formula, with decent illustrations, such as this book, can be handy for reference. However, it is of only limited value for the initiate. On the other hand, there are few students who are capable of much more than memorization at a beginning level, and, if truth be told, a beginning student often prefers memorization (which will get them decent grades) over struggling to develop understanding and intuition. Thus, overall, I feel that the authors have done about as good a job as possible, given conflicting demands at the beginning level.
