Building on his widely praised seminars, Brooks explains what current is, how it flows, and how it reacts.

One interest of this book is that it brings together the point of view of scientists from widely different backgrounds: biologists, physicians, environmentalists, toxicologists, chemists, electrical engineers, etc.

This book teaches the essentials of PCB design--the same standards and techniques used in the field, but collected in one place.

This book is intended to be a 'hands-on' book, that is, designers should be able to apply the concepts in this book directly to their designs in the real-world.

Using real-world examples, this book features: * Fundamental theory on how printed circuit boards function in both the time and frequency domains * Clear discussions, without complex mathematical analysis of flux minimization concepts * ...

The last chapter talks about the manufacturing and flow soldering the PCB. The book will be of great use to both novice and experienced mechanical designers who wish to get acquainted with the basics of PCB design.

This exciting new book will explore how hot traces and vias should be and what board, circuit, design, and environmental parameters are the most important.
