More than 400 homework problems are provided in the book. Solutions to these problems are available to instructors in the Solutions Manual that accompanies the book. Additional problems, suitable for teaching purposes, test questions, and homework problems are available on the authors' World Wide Web site. The book can be used for a course that does not include laboratory exercises, in which case students can get useful practical experience by simulating the operation of their designed circuits by using the CAD tools provided with the book. If there is an accompanying laboratory, then a number of design examples in the book are suitable for laboratory experiments.
Additional experiments are available on the authors' Web site.
