There are 7 other co-authors (Bonnie Baker, R. Burwen, S. Franco, Perkins, M. Thompson, Jim Williams, S. Winder) Classical stuff (opamps, feedback, filters), but on the whole worth having, I think.

I found a review that said it really wasn't worth buying,the material was all in Jim Williams' book... which I have. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | The only thing bipartisan in this country is hypocrisy

The above text just about nails it... not worth having. There is a lot of filter stuff.. explained better elsewhere. At one point a "State Variable Filter" is shown. However it looks like a Biquad. Now these two are pretty similar.. but heck it's a book let's not make that mistake. I was looking forward to the section on noise. There was nothing really wrong here, but nothing new either... well the opamp noise model should have included the current noise.... After all BJT opamp's have horrible current noise. But current noise as well as several other subjects were swept under the rug with the oft repeated phrase, "Beyond the scope of this book". I did find one new circuit fragment in Bobs P's "What's all this error budget stuff anyhow?" A better way to do high side current monitoring. But you can most likely find that in the Electronic Design archive. George H. |
