电子电路设计师的职责是按照需求设计出功能合适的电路并制作出经济、可靠、实用的电子产品。为此，除了设计正确的电原理图外还必须正确选择元器件（有源器件和无源器件）和集成电路、挑选印制电路板并适当布线及合理接地、选配适当的供电电源、考虑电子装置的抗干扰性和电磁辐射，以及使用的安全性和可靠性。电子产品设计中所涉及的这些知识在教科书中较少提及。本书作者依据多年从事电路设计的实际经验总结了在电路设计中所遇到的全面知识，写出了本书。全书共9章，包括接地与布线、印制电路、无源器件、有源器件、模拟集成电路、数字电路、电源、电磁兼容性、产品总体设计等。
This is a compendium of practical advice and pointers - a unique masterclass in practical product design that bridges the gap between theory and implementation. It is an invaluable companion for circuit designers and practicing electronics engineers - gives best practices, design guidelines and engineering knowledge gleaned from years of experience. It includes practical, real-world considerations for components, PCBs, manufacturability, reliability and cost, enabling engineers to design and troubleshoot faster, cheaper and more effectively. It contains new material on design tools, high-speed circuits, variability and tolerances, noise, simulation methods, and testing. The third edition of this classic work on circuit design gives engineers the understanding and practical know-how to produce optimized, reliable, cost-effective electronic circuits. It bridges the gap between the theoretical learning that most university courses provide and the practical knowledge and application that comes from years of experience. Topics covered include analog and digital circuits, component types, power supplies and printed circuit board design, plus new coverage of the latest advances in electronics since the previous edition published. "The Circuit Designer's Companion" is ideal for Professional electronics design engineers, advanced amateur electronics designers, electronic engineering students and professors looking for a book with a real-world design outlook. Dr. Peter Wilson is part of the Electronic Systems Design research group within the School of Electronics & Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton. He worked for many years as a Senior Design Engineer in industry with Ferranti and as an EDA technical specialist with Analogy Inc. (Beaverton, Oregon). He is also a consultant for Integra Design Ltd in various aspects of embedded systems including design and modeling.
