Post by thread:[EE]Has anyone bought the Encyclopedia of Electron

part 1 692 bytes content-type:text/plain; charset="gb2312" (decoded quoted-printable) Hi I just found some thick book called the Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits Volume 7 online. It was said to have covered quite many practical circuits. I just want to take a brief look at how other people design stuff. If anyone happens to own one, I wonder whether this volume makes much difference from the previous 6 volumes? I wonder if it's an update on older circuits or it covers completely different topics? The 1st volume was published in 1985 thus I guess many ideas were too old. _________________________________________________________________ Live Search��Ƶ��ټ��Ƶ�� http://www.live.com/?scope=video part 2 35 bytes content-type:text/plain; charset="us-ascii" (decoded 7bit)

Read the reviews of this book at Amazon.com. They are largely negative.

I have that volume. I thought it would be a revision, but it's actually part of a series. Seems all the circuits I'm after are always in another volume :( Nothing spectacular about the book - it's a compilation of magazine articles and other bits and pieces. The circuits tend to have a brief description but nothing in-depth overall, and lots of the circuits use proprietry ICs (a fair few Maxim ones IIRC). Not bad if you're looking for a reference to knock together a quick circuit/building block (they tend to be fairly simple circuits on the whole), but I tend to look on the 'net for what I'm after. Hope this helps.
