This comprehensive revision of a popular textbook helps the non-electrical engineering undergraduate - the future user, rater than the designer of electrical devices, systems, and machines - gain a conceptual understanding of electrical engineering. Early coverage of systems and an emphasis on an IC (integrated systems) 'building block' approach will be extremely appealing to those coming to the subject for the first time. The text features integration of analog and digital technology with cutting-edge coverage of op-amps, feedback, and analog systems. A section on SPICE, the leading computer-aided circuit analysis software, introduces the student to computerized analysis of circuits. At the end of each chapter, applications are discussed, relating material to contemporary topics such as automobile suspension systems, high-fidelity audio, and hand-held computers.
