商品描述

Electronic circuit design, drawn by hand and explained from first principles.

The Secret Life of Circuits teaches electronic circuit design the way a working engineer actually thinks about it: starting with the physics, using math where it earns its place, the workbench never far away. Across nearly 300 hand-drawn color illustrations, Michal Zalewski builds intuition from the ground up, showing how electrons move through conductors and semiconductors, what's really going on inside op-amps and current mirrors, how digital logic works at the gate level, and how to carry a design from schematic through PCB fabrication to working firmware.

Photographed experiments. Real component behavior. The practical problems that show up in your own designs. Just the right balance of practice and theory: no Laplace transforms and no plumbing analogies.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Reason about real components, including the parasitics, noise, and reflections that ideal models hide
  • Understand analog building blocks like amplifiers, oscillators, and filters at the device level
  • Work with digital logic, memory, and clocking, and see how a rudimentary computer comes together
  • Drive peripherals from a microcontroller and bring an embedded project to life
  • Lay out high-speed PCBs with surface-mount components and get them to work on the first try

The Secret Life of Circuits is for inquisitive hobbyists who hit a wall in the usual books, and engineers who want to close the gap between the classroom and where the work actually happens.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

手繪並從第一原理出發講解的電子電路設計。

《The Secret Life of Circuits》以實際工程師思考電子電路設計的方式來教學：從物理學開始，在數學真正派得上用場時才使用數學，並且隨時回到實驗工作台。Michal Zalewski 透過近 300 張手繪彩色插圖，從基礎建立直覺，帶你了解電子如何通過導體與半導體、運算放大器（op-amp）和電流鏡（current mirror）內部究竟發生了什麼、數位邏輯如何在閘級（gate level）運作，以及如何將設計從電路圖一路實現到 PCB 製造，最後撰寫出可運作的韌體（firmware）。

實驗照片、真實元件的行為，以及你在自己的設計中實際會遇到的問題。實務與理論取得恰到好處的平衡：沒有拉普拉斯轉換，也沒有水管類比。

本書將教你：

• 如何思考真實元件，包括理想模型所隱藏的寄生效應（parasitics）、雜訊（noise）與反射（reflections）
• 在元件層級理解放大器、振盪器與濾波器等類比電路基本模組
• 使用數位邏輯、記憶體與時脈電路，並了解一台簡易電腦如何逐步組成
• 透過微控制器驅動周邊裝置，讓嵌入式專案真正運作起來
• 使用表面黏著元件（surface-mount components）佈局高速 PCB，並讓電路一次就能成功運作

《The Secret Life of Circuits》適合那些在一般書籍中遇到瓶頸、仍充滿好奇心的業餘愛好者，也適合希望縮小課堂所學與實際工作現場之間差距的工程師。

作者簡介

Michal Zalewski is a computer security specialist and an avid tinkerer with more than three decades of experience in electronic circuit design.
