The Analog Circuit Design Series set reduces the concepts of analog electronics to their simplest, most obvious form which can easily be applied (even quantitatively) with minimal effort. The emphasis of the set is to help you intuitively learn through inspection how circuits work and apply the same techniques to circuits of the same class. The fourth volume in the set Designing Waveform-Processing Circuits builds on the previous 3 volumes (9781891121869; 9781891121838; 9781891121845) and presents a variety of analog non-amplifier circuits, including voltage references, current sources, filters, hysteresis switches and oscilloscope trigger and sweep circuitry, function generation, absolute-value circuits, and peak detectors. Digitizing (ADCs and DACs) and sampling (including some switched-capacitor) circuits are explained, with theory required for design. Sampling theory is developed from both a frequency and time-domain viewpoint, with emphasis upon application to design.
D. Feucht has been involved in analog circuit design for over 40 years, fifteen of them with Tektronix and most of the rest in Innovatia. He has designed part or all of oscilloscopes, DMMs, function generators, pulse generators, medical ultrasonic scanners, phaco machines, and surgical lasers, microcomputer-based data acquisition and control systems, thermal energy meters, and various power conversion and motor-drive products.
