Analog Circuit Design Volume 2

Foreword

We appreciate the enthusiastic response to the original book, Analog Circuit Design: A Tutorial Guide to Applications and Solutions. The acceptance of this book emphasizes the need for making good circuit design applications accessible. These writings on applications fill a vacuum, since the majority of application notes and magazine articles do not have sufficient depth to teach analog design.

At the time I learned analog design, there were not yet any analog ICs. Circuits were all transistorized (maybe some tubes) and the circuit explanations in magazines and books were more complete than many are today. In those days equipment manuals included schematics for repair. I was fortunate to work at a large company with a huge calibration ...
