Description
"...A book that should be on the shelf of every digital or analog electronic-system designer." - Frank Goodenough, Electronic Design
This Handbook offers design engineers and managers immediately useful, meat-and-potatoes techniques for achieving design validation
by analysis in an easy-to-read style. The book contains numerous useful and interesting
tips for electronics circuit designers. Examples
of rectifier circuits, power supplies, digital timing, thermal analysis, grounding and layout, and EMI/noise control are examined in
detail with fully worked-out numerical examples.
If you need to create reliable, cost-effective, optimized designs, The Design Analysis
Handbook provides a practical framework for integrating quality into the design process from start to finish. The methodology used is
called Worst Case Analysis Plus (WCA+), a design-validation tool that demands thoroughness and analytical thinking by the user.
A
guide to assessing and validating circuit design, The Design Analysis Handbook presents processes and mathematical tools in a straightforward,
real-world manner. Unique features of the approach include chapters on safety, bad science, and surviving high-pressure design projects.
