Electronic circuit design сan Ье divided into two areas: the first consists in designing а circuit that will fulfil its specified function, sornetirnes, under laboratory conditions; the second consists in designing the sarne circuit so that every production rnodel of it will fulfil its specified function, and по other undesired and unspecified function, always, in the field, reliably over its lifetirne. When related to circuit design skills, these two areas coincide rernarkably well with what engineers are taught at college - basic circuit theory, Ohrn's law, Thevenin, Кirchhoff, Norton, Maxwell and so оп - and what they learn оп the jobthat there is по such thing as the ideal cornponent, that printed circuits are rnore than just а collection of tracks, and that electrons have an unfortunate habit of never doing exactly what they're told. This book has Ьееn written with the intention of bringing together and tying ир sorne of the loose ends of analog and digital circuit design, those parts that ше never rnentioned in the textbooks and rarely adrnitted elsewhere. In other words, it relates to the second of the above areas.
