This book continues the approach originated in an earlier effort, "Analog
Circuit Design—Art, Science, and Personalities." In that booktwenty-six
authors presented tutorial, historical, and editorial viewpoints on subjects
related to analog circuit design. The book encouraged readers to develop
their own approach to design. It attempted this by presenting the diver
gent methods and views of people who had achieved some measure of
success in the field. A complete statement of this approach was contained
in the first book's preface, which is reprinted here (immediately follow
ing) for convenience.
The surprisingly enthusiastic response to the first book has resulted in
this second effort. This book is similar in spirit, but some changes have
occurred. The most obvious difference is that almost all contributors are
new recruits. This seems a reasonable choice: new authors withnew
things to say, hopefully augmenting the first book's message.
Although accomplished, some of this book's writers aresignificantly
younger and have less experience at analog design than the previous
book's authors. This is deliberate, and an attempt to maintain a balanced
and divergent forum unencumbered by an agingpriesthood.
A final difference is the heavy capitalistic and marketeering influence
in many of the chapters. This unplanned emphasis is at center stage in
sections by Grant, Williams, Brown, and others, and appears in most
chapters. The influenceof economics was present in parts of the earlier
book, but is much more pronounced here. The pristine pursuit of circuit
