Designing Electronics That Work

Learn the practical stuff they don't teach in engineering school in this go-to resource on electronics and hardware design.

Most electronics books answer questions like "What is a capacitor and how does it work?" Designing Electronics That Work answers questions like "How do I know which capacitor to buy out of the hundreds of thousands available that all look the same, and how do I use that capacitor in my schematic and layout so that it performs the way I expect?"

Full of hundreds of tips, tricks, and techniques that most people only learn through experience, this book is a concise, practical guide to designing and manufacturing electronics. It walks you through the entire process of developing a device, from conceiving an idea, to refining it through prototyping, to the final schematic and layout design, and on to fabrication and assembly. You'll learn how to select components and work with suppliers, cost-engineer your designs, navigate regulatory testing, and efficiently troubleshoot when things go wrong.

Whether you're a recent engineering graduate, a seasoned professional, or a hobbyist tinkering in your basement, Designing Electronics That Work is a valuable resource. Its battle-tested strategies will save you time and money by speeding up your workflow and heading off problems. Learn from someone else's mistakes so you don't have to make them yourself.

在這本關於電子學和硬體設計的指南中，你將學到工程學校所未教授的實用知識。

大多數電子書回答的問題是「電容器是什麼，它是如何工作的？」而《設計可行的電子產品》則回答了「在數以十萬計看起來都一樣的電容器中，我該如何選擇適合的電容器，並在我的電路圖和佈局中使用它，以達到我期望的效果？」。

這本書充滿了數百個只有透過經驗才能學到的技巧和技術，是一本簡明實用的電子設計和製造指南。它將引導你完成整個設備開發過程，從構思一個想法，到通過原型改進，再到最終的電路圖和佈局設計，最後到製造和組裝。你將學會如何選擇元件並與供應商合作，對你的設計進行成本工程，應對法規測試，以及在出現問題時高效地進行故障排除。

無論你是剛畢業的工程學生、經驗豐富的專業人士還是在地下室進行嗜好 tinkering 的愛好者，《設計可行的電子產品》都是一本寶貴的資源。它經過實戰驗證的策略將節省你的時間和金錢，加快你的工作流程並避免問題的發生。從別人的錯誤中學習，避免自己重蹈覆轍。
