Hi all,
I'm interested in your recommendations for textbooks on electronic
design using discrete components. Most texts nowadays seem to emphasize
integrated circuits, and most applications material from manufacturers
also circle around ICs. There's nothing wrong with ICs, but there are
plenty of areas where discrete circuits continue to be appropriate. Do I
have to resort to 30-year old unobtainable transistor application
manuals or is there anything more up-to-date?
I've already got:
Amos & James "Principles of Transistor Circuits" 9th Ed.
AoE 2nd Ed.
Tietze/Schenk (in German) 11th Ed.
Mauro "Engineering Electronics"
Langford-Smith "Radio Designer's Handbook" (ok, that's pretty old
material, but still relevant)
Jim William's two books
Bob Pease's Troubleshooting book
Various more specialized texts on amplifiers, OpAmps, SMPS and such, but
they're not that relevant to discrete design.
Is there anything I ought to add to this list? I'm interested in smart
real-world circuits with explanations, not in the 17th analysis of the
bipolar transistor in common emitter configuration (unless it is truly
original).
Are there any good bibliographies (with reviews) on electronic design
available on the net?
