Analog Filter and Linear Circuits Text Plus Kits
What you’ll learn:
- EIM Technologies' Kickstarter campaign ended on April 16, 2025, reaching ~$108,000 in pledges. The book and associated kits can now be ordered from EIM directly, with details below.
- EIM used Kickstarter to introduce a new textbook on analog filter and linear circuits design—its contents are provided in this article.
- Kits of parts and circuit boards, associated with the book, are available as optional add-ons.

About a year ago, Electronic Design covered a successful $112,000 Kickstarter campaign by the team at EIM (Evo-in-motion) Technology, which offered a 300-page how-to book, Fundamental Analog Circuits and Semiconductors.
The circuits in the book were described for implementation using modern breadboarding techniques. Breadboard-friendly power supplies and rudimentary test-and-measurement equipment and kits of components were available to accompany the book, too. Fundamental Analog Circuits and Semiconductors, and the optional accompanying kit, can be found on the EIM website.
EIM Technology was no stranger when it comes to Kickstarters featuring educational kits, now successfully funding 14 out of 15 campaigns. Campaign number 15 opened at the time this article was written [Update: It's now closed, but items can be ordered from EIM, per below] and should be of interest to many of Electronic Design’s readers. EIM’s book, Fundamental[sic] of Analog Filter Design – An Experimental Discovery of Signals, Mathematics and Linear Circuits, was available for $89CAD in the campaign.
Kits of parts and boards, associated with the book, are also [no longer] available in the Kickstarter, with pledges that starting at an additional $90CAD. They included:
- A bag of components containing resistors, trim pots, capacitors, inductors, and op amps that are needed to work on the experiments in the book
- A set of customized PCB modules to implement the projects in the book
- A full-sized breadboard for hands-on prototyping
- Accessory parts (cables, connectors, six electrodes for the ECG project)
To get these at a discount, be aware that EIM’s Kickstarter campaign, found here, closed on Wed., April 16. 2025, at 6:05 PM PDT. The Kickstarter items can now be ordered directly from EIM, here.
What follows is a summary of the contents of the book:
