About this ebook

Unlike books currently on the market, the second edition of Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits satisfies two goals: combine circuits and electronics into a single, unified treatment, and provide an early introduction to, and strong connection with, the contemporary world of digital systems. Using the concept of "abstraction," the book forms a bridge between the world of physics and the world of electrical/computer engineering. Recognizing that the world today is largely "digital," Agarwal/Lang’s integrated approach shows the relevance of the traditional circuits course to modern designs that combine analog and digital components.
  • Motivates interest in circuits and electronics
  • Focuses on contemporary devices, leaving traditional devices to examples and exercises
  • Discusses energy and power in analog and digital circuits, reflecting power consumption’s key role in modern electronic devices
  • Uses the concept of abstraction to transition from the physical world to engineering principles, and from simple engineering principles to complex engineering systems
  • Written by two educators well known for innovative teaching, research, and industry collaboration
  • Supported by MIT’s OpenCourseWare site, which includes video lectures, interactive simulations, and practice quizzes/exams

About the author

Director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and a professor of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at MIT. His research focus is in parallel computer architectures and cloud software systems, and he is a founder of several successful startups, including Tilera, a company that produces scalable multicore processors. Prof. Agarwal won MIT’s Smullin and Jamieson prizes for teaching.

Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT. He served as the Associate Director of the MIT Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems between 1991 and 2003, and as an Associate Editor of Sensors and Actuators between 1991 and 1994. Professor Lang’s research and teaching interests focus on the analysis, design and control of electromechanical systems with an emphasis on rotating machinery, micro-scale (MEMS) sensors, actuators and energy converters, and flexible structures. Professor Lang is a Fellow of the IEEE, and a former Hertz Foundation Fellow.
