LONDON -- Peter Wilson's latest edition of The Circuit Designer's Companion is now available in paperback.

The book, now in its third edition, is a compendium of practical advice and pointers, and is said to bridge the gap between theory and implementation.

The tome offers best practices, design guidelines and engineering knowledge gleaned from years of experience. It includes practical, real-world considerations for components, PCBs, manufacturability, reliability and cost, enabling engineers to design and troubleshoot faster, cheaper and more effectively. The latest edition contains new material on design tools, high-speed circuits, variability and tolerances, noise, simulation methods, and testing. The third edition of this classic work on circuit design gives engineers the understanding and practical know-how to produce optimized, reliable, cost-effective electronic circuits. It bridges the gap between the theoretical learning that most university courses provide and the practical knowledge and application that comes from years of experience.

Topics covered include analog and digital circuits, component types, power supplies and printed circuit board design, plus new coverage of the latest advances in electronics since the previous edition published.

The Circuit Designer's Companion is for professional electronics design engineers, advanced amateur electronics designers, electronic engineering students and professors looking for a book with a real-world design outlook.
