For the level of complexity and the number of transistors in a typical chip, you need some systematic means of disciplining the design. While some readers might readily find other ...             DSP Filter Cookbook (Electronics Cookbook Series)2 reviews John Lane Prompt (DPI - 8/01), 2000 Good for implementation details, go elsewhere for theory + easy to write code based on the book's equations The title for this book may be misleading. Unlike most books on this subject, "DSP Filters" deals with a very specific class of digital filters, the infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. In addition, the IIR filters described are of the "maximally flat" gender. DSP books in general dedicate no ...             Circuit Design with VHDL27 reviews Volnei A.

Graf, William Sheets McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics, 1998 Perhaps I can help + More of an encyclopedia of circuit ideas than circuits themselves This series contains thousands of schematics from a variety of sources. I'm quite sure that few, if any, were tested by the authors. However, based on the sources, most probably were tested by the originators. The explanations were sparse, and there were errors, some obvious. As such, these are ...             Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (VLSI Systems Series)11 reviews Michael John Sebastian Smith Addison-Wesley Professional, 1997 This book is well written + Detailed and exhaustive but outdated + This is the best ASIC book I have read. + Great Starter and Reference             Microprocessor Systems Design: 68000 Family Hardware, Software, and Interfacing5 reviews Alan Clements Cengage-Engineering, 1997 Great microprocessor book + Excellent clear book on microprocessor systems design + Practical on microprocessor!! + A very good 68000 book for EE, CS, computer engineering. + Good book if you've got a TI-92             Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits15 reviews Sergio Franco McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2001 Excellent Resource for Student or Practicing Engineer + Great book + still an outstanding, encyclopedic treatise + Excellent Book + As good as it gets...             Principles of Power Electronics (Addison-Wesley Series in Electrical Engineering)6 reviews John G.
