NEW—Extensively revised chapter content—Chapter 8 on Microcomputers now emphasizes
embedded systems and the Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller.
NEW—Chapter 9 on computer-based instrumentation systems including LabVIEW™ has been
added.
NEW—Totally revised Chapter 12 Field-Effect Transistors to emphasize MOS devices.
NEW—Digital Systems addressed earlier in the text—directly after circuit analysis.
NEW—Appendix of Practice Problems for Fundamentals of Engineering Licensing Exam.
Written for users rather than designers of circuits, electronics, and electrical machines.
❍ Enables nonmajors to focus on how the concepts are applied in their fields.
A self-contained treatment reviews prerequisite topics—Such as complex numbers and differential
equations.
❍ Provides students with background material.
Short, boxed articles interspersed throughout—Showing how basic electrical engineering concepts
are applied in other engineering fields. Examples include anti-knock signal-processing circuits for internal
combustion engines, a cardiac pacemaker, the use of Global Positioning System in surveying, batteries
for electric/hybrid vehicles, and signal-processing for automotive-ignition control.
❍ Illustrates the importance of electrical engineering concepts in other fields.
Each chapter contains objectives, worked examples, exercises with answers, summaries, and
numerous homework problems.
❍ Provides ample opportunity for clarification of chapter content.
Website—Includes complete solutions for exercises, errata, links, and answers for selected end-ofchapter problems.
Two CDs included—Contain evaluation version of LabVIEW™ and the student version of PSpice with
the example files discussed in the book.
