About the Author

Clive “Max” Maxfield is 6’ 1” tall, outrageously handsome, English and
proud of it. In addition to being a hero, trendsetter, and leader of fashion,
he is widely regarded as an expert in all aspects of electronics (at least by his
mother).
After receiving his BSc. in Control Engineering in 1980 from Sheffield
Polytechnic (now Sheffield Hallam University), England, Max began his
career as a designer of central processing units for mainframe computers.
To cut a long story short, Max now finds himself President of TechBites
Interactive (www.techbites.com). A marketing consultancy, TechBites
specializes in communicating the value of technical products and services to
non-technical audiences through such mediums as websites, advertising,
technical documents, brochures, collaterals, and multimedia.
In his spare time (Ha!), Max is co-editor and co-publisher of the
web-delivered electronics and computing hobbyist magazine EPE Online
(www.epemag,com) and a contributing editor to www.eedesign.com. In

addition to numerous technical articles and papers appearing in magazines
and at conferences around the world, Max is also the author of Designus
Maximus Unleashed (Banned in Alabama) and co-author of Bebop BYTES

(An Unconventional Guide to Computers).
On the off-chance that you’re still not impressed, Max was once referred
to as an “industry notable” and a “semiconductor design expert” by someone
famous who wasn’t prompted, coerced, or remunerated in any way!
