Microelectronic Circuit Design [With CDROM]

I'm an EE student who has taken the first course using the Sedra/Smith book but because of a delay in taking the second course, will be using the Jaeger/Blalock text. I'm reviewing the material from the first course as it is laid out in the Jaegaer/Blalock book and find the same material more understandable with more relevant detail.

this was used for two core classes and its great. contains pretty much everything needed.

The book has been great so far, the only real issue is that some of the diagrams are labeled and/or referenced incorrectly which can be confusing at times.

These reviews certainly demonstrate that everyone has a different point of view. I thought Jaeger's organization was excellent. Jaeger leads you through the material in a user friendly, step by step manner. He provides what I think is the best explanation of pn junction physics. Jaeger takes the space needed to explain fully. Compared to Jaeger,Sedra and Smith race through the material providing few intermediate examples. I think Jaeger TEACHES and Sedra and Smith seem to be summarizing for the benefit of someone who has learned elsewhere.

This is a great book for beginning electrical engineers. I was able to move through the course smoothly without any problems.
