This book serves as a practical guide for practicing engineers who need to design analog circuits for microelectronics. Readers will develop a comprehensive understanding of the basic techniques of analog modern electronic circuit design, discrete and integrated, application as sensors and control and data acquisition systems,and techniques of PCB design.

ú Describes fundamentals of microelectronics design in an accessible manner;

ú Takes a problem-solving approach to the topic, offering a hands-on guide for practicing engineers;

ú Provides realistic examples to inspire a thorough understanding of system-level issues, before going into the detail of components and devices;

ú Uses a new approach and provides several skills that help engineers and designers retain key and advanced concepts.

Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio is a Ph.D. in Physics and a Telecommunication Engineer. He has worked on various international projects in the field of gravitational wave research. Working as a software/hardware developer in the data acquisition system, he participated as the designer of the thermal compensation system (TCS) for the optical system used in the Virgo Experiment (an experiment for detection of the gravitational wave). Actually, He works in the X-ray field to design new devices about High Voltage X-ray and Microbeam for radiobiological and microscopy applications.

Di Paolo Emilio is also the author of numerous publications on electronics design, data acquisition system via GSM, power supply and photovoltaic system.
