Electronics Drafting provides basic instructions for creating wiring diagrams, schematics and logic diagrams, printed circuit board designs, enclosure drawings, and pictorial drawings. It begins with general topics, such as electronic symbols and component descriptions, and then progresses into specific applications.
This book explains the design and fabrication of any electronic enclosure that contains a printed circuit board, from original design through materials selection, building and testing, and ongoing design improvement. It presents a thorough and lucid treatment of material physical properties, engineering, and compliance considerations such that readers will understand concerns that exist with a design (structural, environmental, and regulatory) and what is needed to successfully enter the marketplace. To this end, a main thrust of this volume is on the “commercialization” of electronic products when an enclosure is needed. The book targets the broadest audience tasked with design and manufacture of an enclosure for an electronic product, from mechanical/industrial engineers to designers and technicians. Compiling a wealth of information on relevant physical phenomena (strength of materials, shock and vibration, heat transfer), the book stands as a ready reference on how and where these key properties may be considered in the design of most electronic enclosures.
Focused on the field of knowledge lying between digital and analog circuit theory, this new text will help engineers working with digital systems shorten their product development cycles and help fix their latest design problems. The scope of the material covered includes signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems which occur in high speed digital machines (above 10 megahertz). This volume will be of practical use to digital logic designers, staff and senior communications scientists, and all those interested in digital design.
The operational amplifier ("op amp") is the most versatile and widely used type of analog IC, used in audio and voltage amplifiers, signal conditioners, signal converters, oscillators, and analog computing systems. Almost every electronic device uses at least one op amp. This book is Texas Instruments' complete professional-level tutorial and reference to operational amplifier theory and applications. Among the topics covered are basic op amp physics (including reviews of current and voltage division, Thevenin's theorem, and transistor models), idealized op amp operation and configuration, feedback theory and methods, single and dual supply operation, understanding op amp parameters, minimizing noise in op amp circuits, and practical applications such as instrumentation amplifiers, signal conditioning, oscillators, active filters, load and level conversions, and analog computing. There is also extensive coverage of circuit construction techniques, including circuit board design, grounding, input and output isolation, using decoupling capacitors, and frequency characteristics of passive components. The material in this book is applicable to all op amp ICs from all manufacturers, not just TI. Unlike textbook treatments of op amp theory that tend to focus on idealized op amp models and configuration, this title uses idealized models only when necessary to explain op amp theory. The bulk of this book is on real-world op amps and their applications; considerations such as thermal effects, circuit noise, circuit buffering, selection of appropriate op amps for a given application, and unexpected effects in passive components are all discussed in detail. *Published in conjunction with Texas Instruments *A single volume, professional-level guide to op amp theory and applications *Covers circuit board layout techniques for manufacturing op amp circuits.
This book provides instruction on how to use the OrCAD design suite to design and manufacture printed circuit boards. The primary goal is to show the reader how to design a PCB using OrCAD Capture and OrCAD Editor. Capture is used to build the schematic diagram of the circuit, and Editor is used to design the circuit board so that it can be manufactured. The book is written for both students and practicing engineers who need in-depth instruction on how to use the software, and who need background knowledge of the PCB design process. - Beginning to end coverage of the printed circuit board design process. Information is presented in the exact order a circuit and PCB are designed - Over 400 full color illustrations, including extensive use of screen shots from the software, allow readers to learn features of the product in the most realistic manner possible - Straightforward, realistic examples present the how and why the designs work, providing a comprehensive toolset for understanding the OrCAD software - Introduces and follows IEEE, IPC, and JEDEC industry standards for PCB design. - Unique chapter on Design for Manufacture covers padstack and footprint design, and component placement, for the design of manufacturable PCB's - FREE CD containing the OrCAD demo version and design files
PCB reverse-engineering is a skill that requires more than just an acquaintance with electronics. We're not talking about recreating the PCB artwork here, but the schematic diagram itself. To the uninitiated, it is a difficult if not impossible undertaking reserved only for the determined and qualified. The author, however, believes that having a right mindset and being equipped with the right knowledge will enable even an average electronics engineer to do it. This book will not teach you to use electronic automation design (EDA) tools to produce or reproduce PCBs nor give you a formal study on PCB structural design and fabrication. It does, however, impart knowledge on PCBs that relate to reverse-engineering and teaches you how to create PCB layouts and schematic diagrams using Microsoft Visio in a technical capacity. This standard edition illustration-rich book covers things which you'll need to take note before you begin, the necessary basic preparation work to perform, creating layout shapes prior to drafting the PCB artwork, knowing what is a good schematic diagram and the right strategies to use for the type of PCBs (analog, digital, mixed-signals). You will also learn advanced topics such as layering, shape data and shapesheet, generating reports for bill of materials, and even deciphering programmable logic devices!
