Designing Electronics that Work
I’ve put together a 300+ page book with basically everything I learned the hard way over the last 10 years founding and working at several hardware startups. It started out as a self published work, but No Starch Press picked it up and it went through a very extensive editing process to make it even better.
Here’s the Table of Contents:
What to build and how to plan for it
Component specifications and purchasing
Selecting passive components
Selecting active components
Schematic design
Layout design
Design for excellence
Regulatory requirements for EMI/EMC
Cost engineering
Prototyping
Building a lab
Fabrication and assembly
Testing
Troubleshooting
How to give a demo
Recommended resources
Example fabrication notes
