 The best practical analog design book I know of. May 20, 1998
A very practical, well written guide to analog design. It's unusual to find comprehensive sections on how NOT to design a circuit which are also well written. Although some part numbers are outdated, having real part numbers and comparisons of different part numbers and types is also very useful. Most parts manufacturers don't explain their parts in the detail that these guys do.
Outstanding, brilliant, it should be 5 times the price. April 29, 1998
This was presented to us by two guys who want us to know what they know. Most other books are presented by their authors to show us how clever, sorry, how educated they are.
Best book on electronics basics ever seen.... July 10, 1997
Horowitz/Hill is actually the best on the market, and I can say this as an EngineeringElectronics Technician with 15 years experience. I'm from Germany and sorry to say that the german translation from Elektor-Verlag is really worse translated, unfortunately ! So better read the English original.
Excellent Book March 24, 1997

The 'Bible' for electronic design. December 5, 1996
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my "desert isle" book for electronic design. Everything about it is perfect. I designed a whole 68000 based voltage calibrator just from what I learned in one of the book's chapters. The component selection tables have never failed to suggest a part for my application, although they are getting dated. The chapter on low power design is a must read. The index is perfect. I once had a problem in one of my designs where I saw "fuzz" on a signal. The system I was designing was a high precision voltage calibrator which consisted of several printed circuit boards plugged into connectors on a motherboard. I couldn't figure out where the "fuzz" was coming from, so I thought I might see what Horowitz and Hill could offer as a possible explanation. I looked up the word "fuzz" in the index and sure enough it pointed me to a page which mentioned that modular systems sometimes suffer from signals with "fuzz" on them due to the inductance of the connectors causing a lousy ground return. The chapter on op-amps is so, so simple, stressing the fact that when dealing with op-amps the most important things to remember are that no current flows into the input terminals and that the two input terminals are always at the same potential as long as you have negative feedback. You can go a long way in designing with op-amps just by remembering these two simple rules. The chapter on precision design was particularly applicable for me when I was designing for data acquistion. Common mode rejection, signal integrity, offset voltage, temperature affects are all explained. The authors have a very, very readible style, and a sense of humor too.
