Author Description

Comprehensive collection of best practices in circuit design Schematics and layout examples, more than 100 diagrams More than 30 tables with practical, useful information The electronic rapid prototyping ecosystems available today, which include an extensive collection of code libraries and examples, seem to make hardware and firmware development easier than ever. This belies the fact that a working rapid prototype is still far from production-ready. The secret to a successful professional electronics design is not just about its functionality. It's also about getting everything else right: wise component selection, proper power supply design, electromagnetic compatibility, fast signal routing, thermal management, and testability. This is where this book comes in. It is a collection of best practices in all of the above areas, compiled by the author based on his experience and the experience of others. The methods presented are scientifically or technically justified as far as possible and relevant literature is referenced. The developer is enabled to make even more of his decisions consciously and professionally with regard to a technically and commercially successful electronic design in medium to high volume.
