Troubleshooting Analog Circuits (EDN Series for Design Engineers)

Bob Pease, exclamation of difficult circuit problems is excellent, very engineer needs a copy

This hard cover is far more durable as the soft cover is showing a lot of shelf wear. It doesn't matter what it cost,, I bought it.This book is essentially a review of my last 75 years. (yep I started taking dead things apart to see what went wrong at age 5.Bob was the one "who you gonna call" person for tens of millions of people with common goals. His Pease Porridge column in 'Electronics and other industrial magazines and of course my friend. I have known hundreds of engineers, even MIT graduates like bob but Bob actually knew "stuff.There are solutions in this book to the most sneaky problems that drive you nuts and the big thing is the how and the why stuff happens from the basic component point of view.Ironically his book "How to drive into accidents and how not to" did not cover what happens when your 1969 (sort of) VW hits a foreign object on a curvy road in the dusky evening. For more information simply BINGROBERT PEASE NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR. This is important,,, do it.

This is not the only book Bob Pease wrote. You really need to read all of them. Pease was a prolific author, and an excellent writer. Like some of his other books, this one is a compilation of many of the articles he's written over the years, with some extra verbiage thrown in for good luck.Everything Pease has written has taught me something new, and this book is no exception. It may require rereading several times to get everything he threw in there.Bob Pease was killed in a one-car traffic accident on June 18, 2011, on his way home from a memorial service for Jim Williams, who, like Pease, was an analog circuit designer and author. No doubt Pease appreciated the irony. We'll all miss him, and we're all a little smarter for his having been here.

Bob Pease was always an unusual character at work. He will remain a notable part of our Analog Semiconductor History and that alone is a good reason for an engineer to keep this book in his personal library. The troubleshooting/debugging examples in this book are a bit dated (advanced technologies become obsolete in a relatively short amount of time), but Bob's troubleshooting philosophy is still applicable. His tips aren't just useful for Design Engineers. Semiconductor Test Engineers and Product Engineers can benefit from this book as well.

He was there close to the start of the art of analog design. My college professor says "Bob Pease was the all-time world champion of insight into analog circuits."

Ok, it's clear Bob Pease is waaay good. And we're fine with that. The book is VERY good, very clear in all the aspects, and in all I am very happy to have it. If you read this, you will find many other books use Bob's advice and circuits. I am learning how to build tube amps, and this book almost only talks in terms of low voltage circuits, but still it's incredibly useful.Highly recommended if you are to build reliable circuits

One of the great analog circuit experts and I don't use that term lightly. I read some grumbling about possible errors in this book and others, likely nothing more than publishing errors and typos, they happen all the time. That said, everybody makes mistakes and nobody knows everything, stop fussing about minor things and learn from the gentleman.

R.I.P Bob. The information in this book, and anything else written by Bob Pease should be required reading before any EE diplomas are issued.

Bob Pease é espetacular, acompanho o seu trabalho desde quando escrevia para a EDN. Um mestre em eletrônica analógica!!

This book is written by an expert who really knows what he's talking about. He explains all the useful tricks and pitfalls needed in practice.

Good reference/101 for old and young engineers

Bob Pease ist eine Legende - wer ihn in seinem Labor erleben durfte, ist davon zeitlebens geprägt. Das Nächstbeste danach ist, seine Bücher zu lesen. Aus jedem Satz sprudelt seine Erfahrung - aber immer problemorientiert, kein Wort zu viel, nie ausschweifend oder Lücken überdeckend, sondern fachlich und stilistisch über allem anderen angesiedelt.Es ist selten geworden, daß ein Fachbuch über einen vermeintlich drögen Stoff so fesseln kann - dieses Buch liest man auch noch abends im Bett gern - und kommt dann aber lange nicht zum Schlafen...Ein Muß für jeden, der mit analoger Elektronik (wobei das ein Unterstatement von Pease ist - er wußte sicher mehr über Digitalelektronik als seine meisten jüngeren Kollegen; letztlich ist alle Elektronik analog) zu tun hat.Nur etwas Englisch sollte man schon können. Aber das ist in dem Fach ja eh unabdingbar.Ein Muß für jeden, der beruflich oder privat mit Elektronik zu tun hat.

Tja, was soll man zu einem Buch von Bob Pease schon sagen? Absolut genial! Ein riesiger Fundus für diverseste Probleme in analogen Schaltkreisen. Zu bedenken ist aber, dass relativ komplizierte Probleme beleuchtet werden. Also zum Beispiel das Schwingen von Operationsverstärkern unter extremen Bedingungen etc. Wer wissen will, wieso seine LED nicht leuchtet, der wird mit dem Buch vermutlich überfordert sein.
