This is a compendium of tips concerning real world aspects of electronic circuit design. The companion aims to enable circuit designers to produce more effective working circuits. This guide explains and outlines solutions that take into account the imperfect behaviour of real components, interconnections and circuits. Electronic circuit design can be divided into two areas: the first consists in designing a circuit that will fulfil its specified function; the second consists ih designing the same circuit so that every production model of it will fulfil its specified function reliably over its lifetime. Designers who can appreciate the techniques and tools used in the latter area are becoming increasingly rare. The aim of this guide is to help such people. The subjects covered include grounding, printed circuit design and layout, the characteristics of practical active and passive components, cables, linear ICs, logic circuits and their interfaces, power supplies, electromagnetic compatibility, safety and thermal management.
