Paul and I are days away from turning in the
manuscript on our new x-Chapters book, and I
decided to add this and a few other cheap
AC-to-DC-power circuits, for entertainment.
So I created one with SPICE, ...
Read and comment. AoE x-Chapters,
High-Speed op-amps section, DRAFT.
Recall, the AoE x-Chapters are advanced material that
was meant to come after each relevant chapter, can skip
on a quick first read, go back later for detailed info.
But as main book was growing over 2000 pages, we opted to
bring out main book first, including x-Chapter cross refs,
follow with x-Chapter book. As explained in the preface.
26 pages of good stuff, from new sections 4x.5 and 4x.6
Chapter 4x is to supplement H&H AoE III, chapters 4,5,8.
(Full Chapter 4x is now 146 pages long, still growing.)
DRAFT, but getting close to being complete.
Are explanations excellent, good, OK, or confusing?
Examine tables, any of your favorite parts missing?**
Want a separate low-power table? Can we skip that?
Is the CFB op-amp scene explained well enough?
Did you like VFB scatterplots? Need some for CFB?
Have a favorite trick that should be included?

** For op-amps that come in multiple variants, i.e.,
single, dual, quad, we list only one part, and show
# per pkg variants in next column, so you may not see
your part, e.g., we show OPA192, not OPA2192 or OPA4192.
As you can see, we were forced to economize on space.

Last night we handed over finished latex and
eps files, for AoE The x-Chapters, to our
long-suffering editor at CUP.
Amazing stuff * went in during the last 10 days,
plus I get to make submissions and corrections
for maybe three more weeks, while the files
are being processed. The draft pdf version
has over 650 pages.
* Hundreds of explorations and explanations
of exotic engineering stuff you need to know.
* A dozen varied examples of using power MOSFETs
to solve difficult linear-circuit problems.
* A neat TIA amplifier with an 8-decade dynamic
range, 12-bit precision, not a log converter!
Example use: a starlight to sunlight digitizer.
* A true DC transformer. Keep your extra energy.
* Control your piezo with charge, not voltage.
* 1.2kV HV amplifier, with DC-to-1MHz range.
* 100V 5A DC-10MHz 1000V/us power amplifier.
* More light, pulse your LED at 200 amps.
* Fast 1.5kV 2pF floating current source.
* Hundreds of other cool things, too tired to
type, need sleep.

Yes, everything is tuned for a Dec 1st release.

"The x Chapter" is available on Amazon for pre-order ... for next year!?!
I can't tell, did anybody put up the DropBox link for the draft 26-page High-speed Op-amps section? Check out the tables, scatterplots and measurements.

Anything that appears on usenet, sci.electronics.design, has been disseminated!
A new section from the AoE x-Chapters book,
for you to read, enjoy, and make comments.
A 30-Year MOSFET Saga, The next 15 years,
and Four kinds of power MOSFETs.

I don't think there would be any objection to our posting the ToC -- anyone interested? Also, we're going to put up a website in the next couple of weeks, with some sample chapter sections... stand by!
Preordered on Amazon.co.uk :)And why not on amazon.ES like I did?
We just got the first two copies to arrive in the Western hemisphere (see picture). Here's the link to the website: x.artofelectronics.net
In the wires and connectors chapter, Table 1x.3, is Fmax of APC-7 really 50 Ghz? Thought it was more like 18, maybe 20.
The HP8517, properly calibrated, will have compensated for any small-ish deviations from the connector.
FYI, in response to someone receiving the book, Win Hill points out...
Whoa, lucky you! Paul and I haven't even gotten our
on-order boxes of books yet.
BTW, reminder, CUP's 20% discount is over 29 February.

Cool! I didn't know that you could pre-order through CUP. I've been avoiding pre-ordering it through Amazon for all the usual reasons (awful labour practices, not paying any taxes etc.). Now pre-ordered with CUP with a grand saving of £0.10 on the Amazon price as well as a clear conscience - cushty!
For those who have received the book, how is the condition of the book itself. I am on my third one from Amazon, they just throw it in a box with no packing, corners all dog-eared, even after taking to CS about the lack of protection. I just ordered one from CUP, fingers crossed.
Question. When amazon is at fault for inadequately packaging the shipment, who eats the cost of replacement?

Here's a place you can get it... CUP's bookstore in Cambridge UK, with nice reflection of olde English architecture (Attachment Link)
..., it depends both on the warehouse which did the expedition (they don't pack the things the same way) and the Post not playing football with it.
I have got mine yesterday from Amazon, came in good condition, even though it was just in a normal envelope style carton, without padding. I guess if yours got smashed, it depends both on the warehouse which did the expedition (they don't pack the things the same way) and the Post not playing football with it.

Sorry, I couldn't resist...
It was delivered by an Amazon delivery guy directly. Dunno about all the intermerdiaries there is before. But the package itself didn't show any sign of damage. I think it's just the packaging step itself that slightly damaged a corner because it was just a bit too tight.

Yay duh, sorry, English is only my third or fourth language.
Even worse, I live in France atm, where the verb "expédier" and the derived noun "expédition" don't mean only Livingstone's trip but mostly someone dispatching a package/order from a warehouse.
:palm:
Just got my copy from amazon.ca ("Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca.") I'm worried this is a counterfeit. Can anyone who ordered theirs from CUP, or amazon.com help confirm? I'm seeing:
Just saw this new thread activity now.
Ordered!
It's a really nice feeling to be able to order direct from the publisher without using amazon.
Seems like there is nowhere to buy the ebook or PDF yet. Or some sort of direct donation to the authors.
I have no interest in owning the physical book.

I really like the laboratory DC power supply (page 454).
I want to build one for myself but designing a PCB for it is well beyond my knowledge.
If some PCB guru on this forum can design and publish Gerber file for this power supply it will be a nice gift for all beginners.
Unfortunately, I didn't figure it out until it was too late to ship it back.
