About the Author

Bonnie Baker has been involved with analog design and analog systems for nearly 20 years, having started as a manufacturing product engineer supporting analog products at Burr-Brown. From there, Bonnie moved up to IC design, analog division strategic marketer, and then corporate applications engineering manager. In 1998, she joined Microchip Technology's Microperipherals Division as the analog/mixed signal applications engineering manager. This has expanded her background to not only include analog applications, but to the microcontroller. Bonnie holds a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) and a bachelor's degree in music education from Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, AZ). In addition to her fascination with analog design, Bonnie has a drive to share her knowledge and experience and has written more than 200 articles, design notes, and application notes and she is a frequent presenter at technical conferences and shows.

Pease attended Mt. Hermon School, and graduated from MIT in 1961 with a BSEE. He worked at Philbrick Researches up to 1975 and designed many OpAmps and Analog Computing Modules. Pease joined National Semiconductor in 1976. He has designed about 24 analog ICs including power regulators, voltage references, and temp sensors. He has written 65+ magazine articles and holds about 21 US patents. Pease is the self-declared Czar of Bandgaps since 1986. He enjoys hiking and trekking in Nepal, and ferroequinology. His position at NSC is Staff Scientist. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE. Pease wrote the definitive book, TROUBLESHOOTING ANALOG CIRCUITS, now in its 18th printing. It has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Russian, and Polish. Pease is a columnist in Electronic Design magazine, with over 240 columns published. The column, PEASE PORRIDGE, covers a wide range of technical topics. Pease also has posted many technical and semi-technical items on his main web-site: http://www.national.com/rap Many of Pease's recent columns are accessible there. Pease was inducted into the E.E. Hall Of Fame in 2002. Refer to: http://www.elecdesign.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=17269&Extension=pdf See Pease's other web site at http://www.transtronix.com

Bob Zeidman is the president of The Chalkboard Network, an e-learning company for high-tech professionals. He is also president of Zeidman Consulting, a hardware and software contract development firm. Since 1983, he has designed CPLDs, FPGAs, ASI

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Refresher or Foundation for a Quick Study, October 8, 2008
By 
Tony Earl "tonye" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Circuit Design: Know It All (Newnes Know It All) (Paperback)
If you've done a lot of reading, or have an education in electronics then little here will be new, but that's not the point. Whenever I focus on any one topic, all the others grow a little stale, and this is the perfect book to freshen them back up.

It covers all of basic Electronics in enough detail to both satisfy and be useful, and despite multiple subjects written by multiple authors, the book hangs together tightly. It absolutely didn't have much sense of an anthology where it is obvious that chapters were written in different eras, and from the looks of it, in different languages. Newness Circuit Design is NOT that book.

Yet Circuit Design is an anthology. I don't have any idea of how they put it together so it flows from chapter to chapter as if written by a single person at a single sitting, albeit deathly long. Newness either edited multiple chapters from previous works so tightly that they seamlessly join together, or this is the first book I've read of bare editorial genius. If not a word has been changed from the originals, then the editor who picked each piece to meld with the one before and after is flatly amazing, an editor the likes of which I've never seen nor even imagined.

In short, Newness Circuit Design is a great single book that covers vast stretches of Electronics knowledge in a highly readable way, deep enough that I was sated after each chapter, yet not so deep as to pull me under 200 meters of details without air. After safely returning to the surface on occasion, I always know where to go to find the hard math beneath the covered topic, if I feel the need. I assume a Quick-Study beginner would be able to find them easily as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a book I will actually use, October 22, 2008
This review is from: Circuit Design: Know It All (Newnes Know It All) (Paperback)
I spend a lot of time writing about technology, including books, magazine articles, and suchlike. (If you do a search on Amazon.com for "Clive Maxfield" you'll find a few of my humble offerings scattered around.)

This means that I tend to be a bit of a harsh critic when it comes to reading "stuff" written by other folks. One thing I hate is having a big pile of books and not being able to find the fact I'm looking for in any of them. By comparison, one thing I love is finding a single book that contains lots and lots of juicy information. Circuit Design Know It All falls into this latter category.

As for the other members of the Know-It-All series, the publisher has pulled together material from a group of well-known engineer-writers, each of whom have focused on the area of their expertise. Even in "Chapter 1: Fundamentals" I discovered reams of stuff I'd long-forgotten, and there are 43 chapters jam-packed with interesting subjects to peruse and ponder. Topics range from diodes and transistors, analog design, digital design, analog and digital layout, high-speed logic, operational amplifiers, sensors, filters, radio frequency (RF) circuits, programmable logic, microprocessors and microcontrollers, power supplies, batteries, safety, testability, reliability... the list goes on and on...

There are other books that go into more depth on each of these topics, but they tend to be "overkill" and wear me down unless I absolutely need to know information to that (excruciating) level of detail. Alternatively, there are a lot of books that attempt to cover a wide range of topics, but that cover them so "thinly" that they are all but useless. Circuit Design Know It All falls into the middle ground; the topics are covered at sufficient depth to be useful without descending into minutia that make my brains want to leak out of my ears.

When I'm writing, I have a select number of books that I keep on my desk for use as a quick reference. Circuit Design Know It All has just joined this pile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of circuit design, March 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Circuit Design: Know It All (Newnes Know It All) (Paperback)
This book appears to be a collection of material found in other publications from the various authors of this title. In a single volume it presents a good overview of circuit design. I personally would have liked to seen more rigorous treatment in certain chapters however I realize that this book was probably written to reach the broadest audience for this subject.
