Computer-Aided Analysis and Design of Analog Electronic Circuits

Current and future electronic designs rely on circuit design and modeling software. This book guides engineering students and industry practitioners through simulation‑based analog circuit design, from fundamental op‑amp and diode applications to multi‑transistor‑multi-stage amplifier circuits. A basic design that integrates simulations may start with manual calculations that utilize simplified formulas and assumed parameters. It is followed by a simulation that allows the designer to contrast the approximations with an exact solution. It then ends with circuit tweaking and precise parameter tuning. In more advanced designs, simulations play a more central role in the design process itself.

He has been with Agilent and now with Keysight Technologies for over 20 years. Presently, he is a senior R&D solution architect & development scientist in the Design Engineering Software (DES) Division at Keysight Technologies, Inc. His research interests are advanced behavioral modeling of circuits and phased array systems modeling and design. His research interests also include scenario modeling of aerospace defense and communication systems with an emphasis on design exploration and optimization.

Zvi S. Roth earned his BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, in 1975 and 1979 and his PhD in Systems Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1983. He is presently a professor of Electrical Engineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida. His teaching and research interests are in control systems, robotics and automation, electronic circuit design, and bioengineering. He co‑authored two books in robotics (1991 and 1996) and one in control systems (2019), and he has over 70 refereed publications. He served as the director of the FAU Robotics Center (1985–1993), chair of the FAU EE Department (1993–1997), and co‑director of the Florida‑Israel
