Designing Waveform-Processing Circuits (Volume 4: Analog Circuit Design Series) [Paperback]

D. Feucht (Author)

Book Description

Series: Analog Circuit Design | Publication Date: August 10, 2009

"The Analog Circuit Design" set reduces the concepts of analog electronics to their simplest, most obvious form which can easily be applied (even quantitatively) with minimal effort. The emphasis of the set is to help you intuitively learn through inspection how circuits work and apply the same techniques to circuits of the same class. The fourth volume in the set "Waveform-Processing Circuits" builds on the previous three volumes (9781891121869; 9781891121838; 9781891121845) and presents a variety of analog non-amplifier circuits, including voltage references, current sources, filters, hysteresis switches and oscilloscope trigger and sweep circuitry, function generation, absolute-value circuits, and peak detectors. Digitizing (ADCs and DACs) and sampling (including some switched-capacitor) circuits are explained, with theory required for design. Sampling theory is developed from both a frequency and time-domain viewpoint, with emphasis upon application to design. Little known circuits and techniques are revealed that can improve your circuit design and analysis skills. The book explains fast, accurate, and simple circuit methods. Simulators will not create your circuits: this shows how. It features graphically-driven presentation of concepts; like a series of seminars. It is written by 30 year veteran designer.

This review is from: Designing Amplifier Circuits (Volume 1: Analog Circuit Design) (Paperback)

For any person wanting to learn the fine details of analog solid state design the series of books by Feucht is excellent.
He is an experienced and competent engineer who handles his subject clearly and professionally.
His background as a vertical amplifier designer at Tektronix gives him a solid foundation for this book on amplifier design. Here transistor modelling is covered in detail and several working circuits are given and can be checked with SPICE or by construction.
Young engineers in training will benefit from the foundational approach used. Those who are accustomed mainly to using opamps as building blocks will learn the fundamentals of discrete transistor multistage amplifier design. As a seasoned analog designer myself, I recommend the book highly.
