Synopsis

Many people consider analog electronic circuit design complex. This is because designers can achieve the desired performance of a circuit in many ways. Together, theoretical concepts, circuit topologies, electronic devices, their operating conditions, and the system's physical construction constitute an enormous design space in which it is easy to get lost. For this reason, analog electronics often is regarded as an art rather than a solid discipline.

Structured Electronics Design:

Defines a step-by-step hierarchically organized design process.
Is based on solid principles from systems engineering, physics, signal processing, control theory, and network theory.
Provides a solid foundation for circuit design education and automation.
Has been developed at the TU Delft since the 1980s.

Author Biography

Anton J.M. Montagne, Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Department of Microelectronics

Anton Montagne (Leiden, The Netherlands, 1953) received his master's degree in 1984
at the Delft University of Technology. In 1983, he joined Philips Semiconductors in Nijmegen where he designed analog integrated circuits for audio and video applications. At Philips, he also developed training courses on analog electronics. In 1989, together with Catena Microelectronics, the Delft University of Technology and the Institute of Microelectronics in Stuttgart, he cooperated in the development of an intensive training course, covering many topics of analog circuit design.

Since 1997, he works as an independent consultant, trainer and designer in the field of analog circuit design. Over the past 38 years, he developed analog electronics for instrumentation and
communication systems and carried out many training courses on analog electronics.
Since 2016 Anton Montagne is coaching students and giving lectures and masterclasses
"Structured Electronics Design" at the Delft University of Technology.
