Hello.
I'm an electrical engineering student who had finished second year in university and is working for a company who deals with electronics.
I've started working about 6 months ago and during that period i've ran into a lot of new terms and devices - like microcontroller, relay, full-wave/half-wave rectifiers, EEPROM and Flash memory, USB to UART bridge, decoupling capacitors, and more.
Since everything happens very quickly at this company, not always you get to learn about each device thats part of your system.
For example, the PSU unit in our PCB contains regulators, oscillator, Jitter clock - devices which I dont know how they really work.
I know that regulator receives Vin and outputs a regulated Vout < Vin, but I havent got to learn about its inside.
How would you suggest to log all this data?
For example, If I read now about how oscillator works, where should I keep this information?
Since i deal with a lot of new issues in the everyday, I'm afraid that if i'll store it in my head, i'd forget about it and then will have to read about it all over again in the internet.
I know that in almost every area its 'use it or lose it', but still, would you think its good to have a documents which i'll write what i learned about each device that i get to operate ?
I'd like more to hear what you tend to do regarding storing information like this what you learn at work.
Thanks a lot.
