Clive "Max" Maxfield received a BS in Control Engineering from Sheffield Polytechnic, England in 1980. He began his career as a mainframe CPU designer for International Computers Limited (ICL) in Manchester, England. Max now finds himself a member of the technical staff (MTS) at Intergraph Electronics, Huntsville, Alabama. Max is the author of dozens of articles and papers appearing in magazines and at technical conferences around the world. Max's main area of interest are currently focused in the analog, digital, and mixed-signal simulation of integrated circuits and multichip modules.
"This is a dangerous book... Not only do you stand a chance of learning something from it, but ten years from now you will still remember it!"--Pete Waddell, editor, Printed Circuit Design "Lives up to its title as a useful and entertaining technical guide...well suited for students, technical writers, technicians, and sales and marketing people."--Electronic Design
