The Circuit Designer's Companion, Second Edition
Product Review "Listed as noteworthy book by Bill Schweber from EDN Magazine. This broad-ranging book teaches considerations you wish you knew about when you finished school and had a real project to work on but doesn't assume a simplistic problem-solution approach." - EDN Feb 2005 Product Description Tim Williams' Circuit Designer's Companion provides a unique masterclass in practical electronic design that draws on his considerable experience as a consultant and design engineer. As well as introducing key areas of design with insider's knowledge, Tim focuses on the art of designing circuits so that every production model will perform its specified function and no other unwanted function - reliably over its lifetime. The combination of design alchemy and awareness of commercial and manufacturing factors makes this an essential companion for the professional electronics designer. Topics covered include analog and digital circuits, component types, power supplies and printed circuit board design. The second edition includes new material on microcontrollers, surface mount processes, power semiconductors and interfaces, bringing this classic work up to date for a new generation of designers. · A unique masterclass in the design of optimized, reliable electronic circuits · Beyond the lab - a guide to electronic design for production, where cost-effective design is imperative · Tips and know-how provide a whole education for the novice, with something to offer the most seasoned professional Reader Reviews This review is from: The Circuit Designer's Companion (Paperback) For someone who only knows V=IR, he could understand 20% of the content without difficulty. For someone who ever took more than 2 related courses in college but hardly remember them, or ever had several monthes of hand on hardware experience. This book is written for him. BUY IT! EVERY PENNY IS WORTHY. For a very experienced hardware engineer, 80% of this book is useless for him, the rest 20% and some tables/charts could be a good reference. The author must be a good teacher as well as a cool hardware engineer base the following facts I observed in this book: 1. A lots of comprehensive drawing, most of them are dummy-proof. 2. Very good content structure, one can start from any chapter without difficulty. It is easy to finds what he want. 3. Easy English (OK, okay, I am from Taiwan). No riddle-like description. Always has some explaination when refer to an unpopular theory. You don't need an encycopedia when you read this book. 4. Good coverage: Components, Power and grounding, EMI, PCB problem, general problems of product design, transmission lines. Clearly, this book is written for a digital hardware designer. Some analog issues are covered, yet they are degital design-related. For RF and pure analog design, this book is not enough. For digital designer, I recommend this book without reservation.
