This book gives professionals clear explanations of the alternatives in common design decision, advantages and disadvantages of the options, tables of characteristics relative to design decision, discussion of alternatives often unknown in practice, and examples of applications. This book addresses the choices to be made at every level of design, including the IC level, the IC package level, and the circuit board level. It then discusses the choices between the many types of resistors, capacitors, connectors, and transistor packages. Finally, this text addresses the concepts involved in building high-quality products, such as robust design, heat vibration, shock, dust, and humidity. For circuit design engineers, circuit-board layout engineers, design engineers, physical design engineers, product engineers, and reliability engineers.
