A working, rapid prototype is far from ready for production. The secret of a successful professional electronics design does not lie within its functionality alone. It is about doing everything else right too: wise component selection, proper supply design, electromagnetic compatibility, fast signal routing, thermal management, and testability.

This is where this book comes in. It helps fill the gap between what electrical engineers leaving university are capable of doing and what is expected of them. Almost every piece of content in this book is based on someone having learned the hard way by missing milestones, by reworking the layout once again, and by throwing away production lots of flawed circuit boards. Hopefully, this book helps spare you similar mishaps by highlighting the mistakes done.

About the author: Dr. Mathis Nussberger earned his MSEE degree from ETH Zurich in 1999. He then worked as a hardware development engineer for various companies, including Motorola Inc. From the beginning, he kept a log of schematic and layout errors, which he turned into this book in 2022. Dr Nussberger is now a lecturer at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and also holds one-day seminars called “Design Review Day” on the contents of the book.
