Learn Circuit Design: Finding Good Books for Electronics Projects

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding quality books for learning circuit design, specifically for individuals who already understand basic electronic components and schematics. Participants recommend "Electric Circuits" by Nilsson as a comprehensive introductory guide to circuit design. This book is noted for its effective teaching approach and is available in its latest edition on Amazon. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational knowledge in electronics for building personal projects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic electronic components (transformers, transistors, etc.)
  • Ability to read and interpret schematics
  • Familiarity with circuit theory concepts
  • Basic knowledge of project-based electronics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research additional circuit design books such as "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill.
  • Explore online courses on platforms like Coursera or edX focusing on circuit design.
  • Learn about simulation tools like LTspice for testing circuit designs virtually.
  • Investigate hands-on electronics kits that complement theoretical learning.
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists, and students looking to deepen their understanding of circuit design and build their own projects effectively.

what are some good book on general circuit design? I know how to read schematics and the basics of electronic components (transformers, trnasistors, ect..). I want to learn how electronics work, so I can build projects myself instead of putting together canned ones.

hopefully you will be more civil than the engtips forums...they deleted my thread and my account for asking what some good books were :cry:

do I really have to bump this?
come on somebody... I am sure you've all read some cicuit design books.
 
When I was in college we used Nilsson's 'Electric Circuits' as an introductory guide to circuit design. It's pretty comprehensive and I quite like the approach. Back then it was an earlier edition, the latest edition can be found here in Amazon.com: .
