The Circuit Designer's Companion

by Peter Wilson

Overview

The fourth edition of this classic work on circuit design gives you the understanding and practical know-how to produce optimized, reliable, cost-effective electronic circuits. It bridges the gap between the theoretical learning that most university courses provide and the practical knowledge and application that comes from years of experience. Topics covered include analog and digital circuits, component types, power supplies and printed circuit board design, plus new coverage of the latest advances in electronics since the previous edition published. The Circuit Designer's Companion is ideal for Professional electronics design engineers, advanced amateur electronics designers, electronic engineering students and professors looking for a book with a real-world design outlook. Updated with new material on: - Extreme Environment Design - Design for Reliability - Wide Band Gap Devices for Power Electronics - Provides an invaluable companion for circuit designers and practicing electronics engineers that includes best practices - Includes practical, real-world considerations for components, PCBs, manufacturability, reliability and cost - Contains new material on design tools, high-speed circuits, variability and tolerances, noise, simulation methods and testing

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A compendium of practical advice and pointers on circuit design, with practical product design that bridges the gap between theory and implementation

Editorial Reviews

"Wilson (electrical and electronic engineering, U. of Southampton) revises a textbook and handbook written by Tim Williams and previously published in 1990 and 2004. Some of the technological details have changed in the two decades, he says, but most of the underlying principles remain the same. There is material here for anyone from bright-eyed students to grizzled veterans, though not always the same information. Among the topics are printed circuits, active components, analogy integrated circuits, electromagnetic compatibility, and general product design." —Reference and Research Book News, Inc.
