Ask HN: Good resource for circuit designs?

4 pointsby davismwfl10 tahun yang lalu5 comments

I am looking for some resources (books, web sites etc) where ideally there are some reference circuit designs with tradeoffs. For example, there are many different power circuits & techniques when powering the PCB and the components, I'd like to review the most common methods and understand the tradeoffs better. Is there anyplace that has that type of resource to learn from? Any open source designs that anyone can point me too that are good to learn from?

Essentially, I have considerable software development experience but have been spending more and more time on firmware only projects (which I am loving). In doing so though, I have run into quite a few patterns that I'd like to get better at identifying up front when evaluating the hardware (and while debugging) so I can be more efficient.

Afrotechmods, GreatScott and old army electronics videos on Youtube. I also got some courses on Udemy when they were on sale. I didn't find one perfect source but after a while, I think I finally got it.

What really made a difference was getting an Oscilloscope and Function Generator. I'm looking to add a bench power supply too.

I highly recommend the lab manual to go along with it as well:
