Since its first appearance in 1956, EDN has established itself as the clear leader in the provision of electronics information, with a combined circulation in the USA, Europe and Asia of over 150,000 copies every fortnight. This is an annotated, indexed and cross referenced collection of work from the magazine for electronic designers. A collected volume of the best articles from the extensive files of Ian Hickman was published in 1991. The articles provide a wealth of information on components, equipment, circuits, systems and standards that prove to be extremely popular and useful for practising electronics engineers. This second volume of collected articles includes subjects not covered in the first, and more recent items, to provide a completely up-to-date compilation, covering subjects including analog and digital circuits, test and measurement, software and algorithms. The articles are cross-referenced and indexed for ease of use. Many of the circuits are from the popular 'design ideas' section where readers submit their own designs. Longer review articles written by the magazine staff are also included.
