Book Description
Engineers and scientists frequently have to get involved in electronic circuit design even though it may not be their specialty. Writing for the inexperienced designer, Hamilton begins by reviewing the basic mathematics and physics needed to understand circuit design. He then goes on to discuss individual components (resistors, capacitors etc.) and commonly encountered circuit elements such as differentiators, oscillators, filters and couplers. A major bonus is the inclusion of a CD with the student edition of the PSpice simulation software, together with models of most of the circuits covered.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Worth It!” Bill Schweber, EDN
“…subjects are treated in a concise, clear and self-contained fashion, always helped by a broad exhaustive bibliography, and cover all the necessary aspects for electronic design…” Measurement Science and Technology, www.iop.org
“…readers can partake of a plethora of well-crafted instruction, seasoned with just the right amount of levity. I enthusiastically endorse the book, particularly to those who have never benefited from the simulation experience.” Physics Today
“Particularly useful for the student is the inclusion of a CD-ROM containing PSpice circuit simulation software, with numerous examples as discussed throughout the body of the text. All in all this book provides a clear and easy to understand discussion of analog electronic circuit design suitable for the new student or as a handy reference for more expert scientists.” Contemporary Physics
Book Description
Designed for engineers and scientists who are non-specialist in electronic circuit design.
