Troubleshooting Analog Circuits
Author / Issuing Authority: Robert A. Pease • Category: RF Comms, Electronics & Offline Compute
Legendary National Semiconductor chief scientist Bob Pease teaches how to actually track down and fix faults in real hardware.
Why This Manual Matters in a Grid-Down Outage
Textbook theory rarely explains why a real circuit board oscillates, overheats, or dies in the field. Bob Pease distils decades of bench wisdom into a masterclass on hardware fault-finding.
Plant-Room & Field Operational Takeaway
Covers the hidden parasitics of capacitors, inductors, diodes, power transistors, and op-amps—plus how to isolate phantom ground loops, ESD damage, and intermittent solder joints with an oscilloscope and DMM.
Maintaining a physical dead-tree edition of Troubleshooting Analog Circuits (ISBN-13: 978-0750694995) in your plant room, comms rack, or site incident grab-bag ensures engineers and duty wardens have immediate access to statutory tables, pinouts, and safety protocols when cloud documentation portals and corporate intranets are unreachable.
