Product Description
Product Description
This is a compendium of practical advice and pointers - a unique masterclass in practical product design that bridges the gap between theory and implementation. It is an invaluable companion for circuit designers and practicing electronics engineers - gives best practices, design guidelines and engineering knowledge gleaned from years of experience. It includes practical, real-world considerations for components, PCBs, manufacturability, reliability and cost, enabling engineers to design and troubleshoot faster, cheaper and more effectively. It contains new material on design tools, high-speed circuits, variability and tolerances, noise, simulation methods, and testing. The third edition of this classic work on circuit design gives engineers 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. Dr. Peter Wilson is part of the Electronic Systems Design research group within the School of Electronics & Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. He worked for many years as a Senior Design Engineer in industry with Ferranti and as an EDA technical specialist with Analogy Inc. (Beaverton, Oregon). He is also a consultant for Integra Design Ltd in various aspects of embedded systems including design and modeling.

A Must Have Resource
28 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I consider myself an amateur electrician so even though this book is well advanced for me, I can kind of understand it. Even though this book isn't for people like me, I can see that it would be a must have resource for a circuit designer.
This book, according to the back cover, gives engineers (circuit designers) "the practical know-how to produce optimized, reliable, cost-effective electronic circuits." And that's what it does, from grounding and wiring to passive and active components, if it has anything to do with circuit design, it's covered in this book with real world considerations.
One thing I took away from this book was how necessary analog circuits are even today. I thought everything was digital now. Another thing I learned was that to understand digital circuits, you need a good ground in analog and you'll get that with this book.

"This is Real Electronics"
2 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
"The forgotten land between ONE and ZERO", as the well-known circuit designer Jim Williams said about analog electronics. But this book also covers digital electronics, as well as analog integrated circuit (OP Amp) packages. In fact it covers the whole broad spectrum of circuit design from passive and active components to wiring and grounding, to the often overlooked practice of EMC (electromagnetic compatibility - the assurance that a circuit will perform within the limts of interference and suppression).
This book will be valuable for the active professional as well as neophyte hobbyist. A beginner can start from the 1st page and he'll be on his way. Wiring and cabling, resistors and capacitors, diodes and MOSFETS, oscillators and amplifiers, microprocessors and microcontrollers, A/D conversion, PCBs and power supplies, along with safety practices are all explained in theory and applications.
It's a great addition to the shelf or bench.

The slightest of drawbacks -- otherwise a brilliant source
22 May 2012
Format:Paperback
It should be noted that this very valuable engineering book was written and updated by expert British engineers, and so the section on PCB layout practices revolves around millimeters and not inches. Just a slight drawback if you're a U.S. engineer where the PCB industry is interpreted mostly using mils (0.001"). I don't mind adding the conversions as I go. Have had the book for only one week as a reference at work and I've already used it several times. Highly recommended. It is actually more useful than (and works faster than) the internet.
