Second Edition
By
Tim Williams, Elmac Services, Wareham, UK
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.
Audience
Professional electronics design community, advanced amateur electronics designers, electronic engineering students and profs looking for a book with a real-world design outlook.
