Intuitive analog circuit design /
Thompson, Marc T.author.
"This book reflects Dr. Thompson's thirty years of experience designing analog and power electronics circuits and teaching graduate-level analog circuit design, and is the ideal reference for anyone who needs a straightforward introduction to the subject. In this book, Dr. Thompson describes intuitive and 'back-of-the-envelope' techniques for designing and analyzing analog circuits, including transistor amplifiers (CMOS, JFET, and bipolar), transistor switching, noise in analog circuits, thermal circuit design, magnetic circuit design, and control systems. The application of some simple rules of thumb and design techniques is the first step in developing an intuitive understanding of the behavior of complex electrical systems. Intuitive Analog Circuit Design outlines ways of thinking about analog circuits and systems that will develop a 'feel' for what a good, working analog circuit design should be. Analog circuit design is introduced with a minimum of mathematics. The book uses numerous real-world examples to help readers  make the transition to analog design. This new edition is an ideal introductory text for anyone who is new to this area"--Cover, page [4].
