[sdiy] best electronics textbooks

[David Ingebretsen]

I've got a lot out of "Transistor Circuit Techniques" by G. Ritchie. It is
primarily transistors, but does have a chapter on Linear integrated circuit
theory.

~~ Here's another vote for Coughlin and Driscoll.  It's excellent, and chock
~~ full of useful circuits.  I use it as a "go-to" resource for drop-in
~~ circuit
~~ ideas.  If you want a deeper treatment, you could check out "Operational
~~ Amplifier" by Clayton and Winder.
~~ 
~~ If you don't have Horowitz and Hill's "The Art of Electronics" already,
~~ then
~~ you better get on it: that's a "must-have".  IMHO, it isn't really for
~~ beginners, but I find that I've really grown into it as I've become
better
~~ at electronics, and now I find that it is usually the first thing I
~~ consult
~~ when I have a question.  I reread the chapter on transistors recently,
and
~~ it really hit home.
~~ 
~~ I recently found a great book on digital logic, if that interests you:
~~ "Logic Designer's Handbook" by E. Andrew Parr.  Really clear and concise
~~ explanation which gets you right into it very quickly.  I wish all
~~ textbooks
~~ were as well written as this one.
~~ 
~~ For a nice, concise treatment of filters, it's hard to beat "The
~~ Active-Filter Cookbook" by Don Lancaster.
