Designing Electronic Hardware

This text tackles the problem of designing electronic hardware. The coverage includes the design of circuitry from "scratch", showing how the various stages of design circuits are worked through. The author discusses topics such as target specification, device selection, industry "rules of thumb" and looks at the design of regulated dc supplies, analogue circuits, methods of realizing working prototypes, test strategies and CAD tools. It is considered to be ideal for students undertaking HNC / HND courses in electronic design at college or polytechnic.
