[sdiy] Becoming better at understanding difficult analog schematics

[Paulo Constantino]

Hi all,

I wanted to ask a question that has been on my mind lately.

I consider myself a beginner in electronics.
I know all the fundamental stuff, or how can I express it... I understand
the landscape of electronics from a high point of view.

However what gets me constantly is this...
When I look at analog electronics schematics, specially big ones, they
don't make sense to me, or at least not within the first few minutes of
looking at them. I find that most schematics are highly "non-linear". By
that I mean that there are feedback loops everywhere, many times from
places in the schematics that are far away from each other.

Schematics that are more linear flowing are easier for me because I can see
the "blocks" and how they connect to each other. But many schematics are so
non-linear and I find that difficult to understand.

How to become better at this? If you are an experienced
electronics engineer, can you yourself understand these "non-linear"
schematics by just looking at them if you have not seen that type of
circuit before?

Thank you very much for reading this and responding if you can.

Paulo
