Features: This book is written for digital engineers who wish to master basic analog knowledge. It covers topics such as A/D converters, D/A converters, operational amplifiers (op-amps), filters, and the integration design of analog and digital systems. The book is divided into 13 chapters. The author adopts a conversational and interactive style preferred by engineers. The first chapter begins by analyzing the gap between digital and analog designs, explaining the connections between them. Chapters 2–7 provide detailed introductions to SAR and ∑-Δ A/D converters, basic knowledge of operational amplifiers, and demonstrate how to select appropriate A/D converters, op-amps, and design op-amp circuits in linear systems, along with SPICE simulation based on practical applications. Chapters 8–12 cover noise, power and ground splitting, PCB layout techniques and strategies, and selecting the right tools for circuit debugging when coordinating analog and digital circuits. Theoretical introductions are combined with real-world analog design examples to give digital engineers a genuine sense of these analog tools, encouraging them to think about analog and how to leverage it to solve circuit problems. The 13th chapter summarizes the book's content and concludes with an example of analog/digital mixed circuit board design, allowing engineers to appreciate the "art" of analog technology. This book is particularly suitable for digital engineers, students, teachers, and application engineers involved in analog/digital mixed system design in fields such as information appliances, industrial control, and electromechanical control systems. It serves as a valuable reference, helping readers complete analog design in digital systems and also acts as a guide to mastering many important aspects of analog electronics.
