Hi everyone,

I was wondering is there a great book out there that explains the use of almost all electronic components/parts/modules to a reasonably in-depth level? For example, a chapter on seven-segment displays, how they work etc....another on LCD displays graphic/non-graphic, another chapter on microcontrollers, and down to capacitors, inductors, resistors, LEDs, etc. etc.
The book would focus more on the practical side of them.

Just wondering. such a book would be a useful reference to have, but I havent found one yet.

Many thanks for reading.

Regards.

 

I don't think so...you have net. There's enough about each thing to have a big 3" book (or multiple books) about them.

And seven segment displays work depending on the way the manufacturer made their interface. THe same goes for microcontrollers. Although you could get a dedicated books on microcontroller and logic design, but that wouldn't help you very much. Reasonably in depth, means different things to different people.

But if you mean basic electronic components there are single books (but big ones! like text books!) like that, and for microelectronics too. THey have a lot of theory though which may bog you down.

The book "Electronics For Dummies" covers some of that, but not the entire range of components you are interested in.

 

What's a book?

I don't think printed books are that great anymore. Things change almost as quickly as it takes to publish. The internet is a better source, as you can download old text books, usually free. You can get press releases and white sheets for new technology straight from the manufacturer. Most data sheets aren't that hard to find. An all in one book would be huge, and might take longer to find what you are looking for, than searching the internet. A book limits you to what the author feels is enough to cover a topic, or what make sense to him/her, but not clear things up for you, so you need to seek another source anyway. I have quite a few books, most a fairly thick, and only deal with one or two areas of electronics, and nothing very advanced in those areas.

 

hope u found it

 

i also need something like electronics encyclopaedia
