Analog Circuit Design

Analog Circuit Design is a four-volume set of books that reduce 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 teach through inspection how circuits work and how to apply the same techniques to circuits of the same class. The first volume, Amplifier Circuits , presents the basic principles of transistor circuit analysis, basic per-stage building blocs, and feedback. The second volume Dynamic Circuit Response extends coverage to include reactances and their time- and frequency-related behavioral consequences. The third volume High Performance Amplifiers is an advanced treatment of amplifier design/analysis emphasizing both wideband and precision amplification. The fourth volume Signal Processing Circuits presents a variety of analog non-amplifier circuits, including voltage references, current sources, filters, hysteresis switches and oscilloscope trigger and sweep circuitry among many more topics.
