Williams J. (ed.) The Art and Science of Analog Circuit Design

Newnes, 1998. — 416 p. — (EDN Series for Design Engineers). — ISBN: 978-0750670623This book continues the approach originated in an earlier effort, "Analog Circuit Design—Art, Science, and Personalities." In that book twenty-six authors presented tutorial, historical, and editorial viewpoints on subjects related to analog circuit design. The book encouraged readers to develop their own approach to design. It attempted this by presenting the divergent methods and views of people who had achieved some measure of success in the field. A complete statement of this approach was contained in the first book’s preface, which is reprinted here (immediately following) for convenience.Preface.
