New Seventh Edition of Microelectronic
Circuits Celebrated at ISSCC 2015
Authors Sedra and Smith Explain How They Keep the 32-Year-Old Classic Current
C
Colleagues and friends of authors
Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. ("KC")
Smith reunited at ISSCC 2015, a
mere five years after they welcomed
the sixth edition of the million-selling Microelectronic Circuits textbook, for a reception sponsored by
Oxford University Press to celebrate
its successor.
The next day, IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine (SSC) sat down with
the life-long colleagues-who met as
mentor and graduate student at the
University of Toronto 50 years ago-
for a chat in the quiet Concierge Room
of the San Francisco Marriott Marquis
hotel that turned into a tutorial on
keeping a classic textbook current.
SSC: IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine did a piece about your sixth edition in 2010, and here we are already
talking about its successor, which was
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MSSC.2015.2418357
Date of publication: 25 June 2015
published on 14 November 2014. What determined this timing?
Adel: I'll start, KC,
and you can comment
any time you want. This
book has been around
for 30-some years. We
try to bring a new one
out every five or six
years, and that's worked
very well. The most important factor is technological change, and this
has to be reflected in a
number of ways.

Conference Chair Anantha Chandrakasan, and coauthor Kenneth
C. ("KC") Smith at the Oxford University Press party celebrating the
seventh edition of Microelectronic Circuits at ISSCC 2015.
New Editions Add
Value to Microelectronic Circuits
Viewed as Technology History
Adel: For example, if you look at
our first edition in '82, it had power
supplies that ranged from 4 V to 15
V. Now, most of our problems use
supplies between 1 and 2 V, maybe a
little higher. You could probably plot
the changes in technology between
the first and seventh editions on the
same graph as Moore's law.
An additional point may be not
so obvious: technology and pedagogical changes make some topics
