Welcome to Circuit Analysis and Design. As the foundational course in the majority of electrical and computer engineering curricula, an electric circuits course should serve four vital objectives:


This textbook is intended to provide you with a solid foundation of the primary set of tools and mathematical techniques commonly used to analyze both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits, as well as circuits driven by pulses and other types of waveforms. A DC circuit is one in which voltage and current sources are constant as a function of time, whereas in ac circuits, sources vary sinusoidally with time. Even though this is not a book on circuit design, design problems occasionally are introduced into the discussion as a way to illustrate how the analysis and synthesis processes complement each other.

This book aims to accomplish exactly those objectives. Among its distinctive features are:
Technology Briefs: The book contains 32 Technology Briefs, each providing an overview of a topic that every electrical and computer engineering professional should become familiar with. Electronic displays, data storage media, sensors and actuators, supercapacitors, and 3-D imaging are typical of the topics shared with the reader. The Briefs are presented at a technical level intended to introduce the student to how the concepts in the chapter are applied in real-world applications and to interest the reader in pursuing the subject further on his/her own. Technology Briefs cover applications in circuits, medicine, the physical world, optics, signals and systems, and more.

Application Notes: Most chapters include a section focused on how certain devices or circuits might be used in practical applications. Examples include power supplies, CMOS inverters in computer processors, signal modulators, and several others.

Multisim and MathScript: Multisim is a SPICE circuit simulator available from National Instruments (see cad.eecs.umich.edu for details). Multisim is highlighted through many end-of-chapter demonstrations. The student is strongly encouraged to take advantage of this rich resource. The Math-Script software can perform matrix inversion and many other calculations, much like the MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB software.
