Product Description
Review
""The book provides good background material on topics like feedback control and stability, and it presents the basics of op-amp topologies and data conversion."" - Rick Nelson, Test & Measurement World.
Product Description
Newnes has worked with Robert Pease, a leader in the field of analog design to select the very best design-specific material that we have to offer. The Newnes portfolio has always been know for its practical no nonsense approach and our design content is in keeping with that tradition. This material has been chosen based on its timeliness and timelessness.Designers will find inspiration between these covers highlighting basic design concepts that can be adapted to today's hottest technology as well as design material specific to what is happening in the field today. As an added bonus the editor of this reference tells you why this is important material to have on hand at all times. This is a library must for any design engineers in these fields. It features hand-picked content selected by analog design legend Robert Pease. It includes proven best design practices for op amps, feedback loops, and all types of filters. The case histories and design examples get you off and running on your current project.

I highly recommend this book if you work with analog electronics. The Newnes World Class Series has not disappointed me so far - this book and the Power Sources and Supplies: World Class Designs book are my two favourites. It ought to be required reading on undergraduate EE courses.
If you're a Bob Pease fan, do bear in mind he edited the book and much of the content comes from other writers, but the content is all of the top quality you'd expect from Bob.

World Class Designs? Hardly.
2 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
World class? Here's a review of some of the chapters: Review of Feedback systems....Basic Operation Amplifier Topologies....review of passive components and a case study in PC board layout, 4 chapters if you can believe it--on filter design, a chapter on noise....all of these represent basics, rudimentary material an EE grad should have mastered...and can hardly be considered world class. Some of the remaining chapters: How to Design Analog circuits without a computer....My approach to feedback design...Jim Williams "zoo circuit", while having their merits....can all be found in the "EDN series for
design engineers". And to publish Pease's notes on Vbe.....Pulease, Pease.... "What's all this vbe stuff" can be found online for free.
In summary, this text will help augment an undergraduate EE's education. It might be useful for non-hardware or digital designer types who have to stray out of their comfort zones, into the analog domain. But there is little in this text that actually world class. Williams Zoo circuit is the the only world class design. Everything else is either rudimentary, or a rip off of other previous published material.
I downgraded the text to 3 stars because the text is somewhat deceptive as to what it purports to be. It should be more appropriately titled: "Analog Circuits: Basics To Be Mastered". The authors are competent, and well known in the field, so it wasn't downgraded any further.

Good material, but mostly published elsewhere

I was disappointed because much of this material was published elsewhere 18 years ago in the Jim Williams art and science books or online.
Analog Circuit Design: Art, Science and Personalities (EDN Series for Design Engineers)
The best new material is from Bonnie Baker about sigma-delta ADCs and when to use them or SAR ADCs.
This somewhat resembles a textbook, with some basic material stitching together the more advanced stuff, and could possibly be used in that way. Some chapters seem to have been updated in a half-hearted way, such as the discussion of passives which mentions SMT as an option, but then goes on to discuss carbon comp and carbon film as relevant technologies. And please give the whining about Spice a rest, or at least update it. Two AT clones and megabytes of unused software? We're way beyond that now man. It's gigabytes of unused software.
Some of the basic tutorials seem uninspired too, like the "Review of Feedback Systems" with mandatory mention of the useless Routh criterion, etc. If you have a transfer function and want to see what it does, then get a computer dude. I understand it was once common to do division without a calculator, and for some reason they also still teach that in school.

A good reference book.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
OK, it is not really a text book and it is not really (all) by the famous/infamous Bob Pease, but nevertheless it is a good book to have on hand if you need to design analogue circuits for the real world.
