Richard Thomas Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Anyone got any tips on books on anaolgue electronics? I'm finding a few areas where I could do with a bit more knowledge (mainly summing networks and power supplies) and although the internet can give me circuits, it doesn't explain why component values are chosen, so I don't really feel comfortable adapting them.

Hartley Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The ARRL Handbook and the Audio Cyclopedia are two that will have just about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertjan Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 My favorite go to book is “The Arts of Electronics” by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill. A real Bible for electronics. It is famous, because it is a textbook, but uniquely written with practical design of electronics in mind. Beside theory lots of practical tips and insights. It even has its own website: http://frank.harvard.edu/aoe/ And a Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Electronics If I could have only one book on electronics it would be this one!

cmgoodin Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I haven't seen a real copy but this book bills itself as "the New Audio Cyclopedia" http://www.amazon.com/dp/0240803310/ref=rdr_ext_tmb Remember the real Audio Cyclopedia was written in the 60s . so it may not be so helpful as many of the electronics avaiable in the 60s are not available today. Everything is surface mount and run by microcontrollers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I forget the author, but the op amp cookbook has some insightful reading. Passdiy.com also has some good introductory reading on op amps, although his specific focus is on consumer amp and preamplifier design.

Marc Wielage Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I haven't seen a real copy but this book bills itself as "the New Audio Cyclopedia" http://www.amazon.co...ref=rdr_ext_tmb Remember the real Audio Cyclopedia was written in the 60s . so it may not be so helpful as many of the electronics avaiable in the 60s are not available today. I have copies of both, and I actually enjoyed the old one by Howard Tremaine a lot more. I seem to recall the later edition was more centered around the early 1990s, so it's still very dated as of 2012. But the basics on acoustics, microphones, and so on are still relevant.

Richard Thomas Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thanks for the tips, guys. The op amp cookbook and art of electronics look especially promising, although neither have any recent editions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
