Product description

Review

"Wilson (electrical and electronic engineering, U. of Southampton) revises a textbook and handbook written by Tim Williams and previously published in 1990 and 2004. Some of the technological details have changed in the two decades, he says, but most of the underlying principles remain the same. There is material here for anyone from bright-eyed students to grizzled veterans, though not always the same information. Among the topics are printed circuits, active components, analogy integrated circuits, electromagnetic compatibility, and general product design." --Reference and Research Book News, Inc.

I bought a copy for a graduate engineer I am mentoring. This book contains all the stuff you need to know that they don't teach you at University!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book but not for everyone.

This is a great book with plenty of real world examples and applications. It is still a textbook but bridges the gap between typical textbooks that teaches solving simple ideal circuits using KVL, KCL, ect. and a textbook you would feel confident in laying out a useful circuit to send to a board house. There is still a bit of math in it but non of it overly complicated. Take my review with a grain of salt as I have a degree in electrical engineering. I would not recommend this for someone who is just getting started in electronics.

3.0 out of 5 stars bien, pero solo eso
Reviewed in Spain on 18 June 2013

Creo que la parte en la que se describe el funcionamiento de los componentes electrónicos, con sus curvas de toda la vida, etc. debería eliminarse, ya que lo encuentras en cualquier libro de electrónica, y aquí pare más un relleno.
La parte que habla de diseño de placas PCB, tipos, formas de fabricación, etc. está bastante bien, y ha cumplido mis expectativas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kurzbericht der ersten Kapitel
Reviewed in Germany on 11 August 2012

Hallo !

Habe das Buch nach einer sehr positiven Kritik einer Elektronikzeitschrift gekauft, und mal begonnen zu lesen. Leider bin ich erst bis zum Beginn des zweiten Kapitels gekommen, und ich meine, es wird nicht zuviel versprochen, allerdings sollte man sich schon mit Elektrotechnik bzw. Elektronik beschäftigt haben. Es ist sehr praxisnah, trifft Dinge und Probleme von Entwicklern genau am Punkt, es enthält doch einige Tabellen und Wertesammlungen, viele Grafiken und jeder der Datenblätter lesen kann kommt sicher auch mit dem Englischen Text zurecht. Viele Entwicklungsüberlegungen die nicht im Schulbuch stehen findet man hier gut zusammengefaßt. Ich würde sagen ein gelungenes Werk aus dem man sicher KnowHow schneller schöpfen kann als jahrelang AppNotes der Chiphersteller zu studieren. Mal sehen ob andere auch so denken und ich hoffe bald die Zeit zu haben das Werk komplett zu lesen.

I am a EE that has been working for 4 years at an engineering firm and this book is perfect for my level. There is tons of practical and useful information for a design engineer. I can't speak for a more experienced engineer but I am learning new things from this book while also using it as a reference for things I have learned from my work/school experience. I would recommend at least an undergrad degree in EE or significant experience with electronics to read this.
