Title: Tech books, notes, applications..
Post by: vansinn on March 16, 2016, 12:20:47 AM
Don't you often miss that book, reference guide, or application sheet for a tech problem or design you're working on?
So, let's build a list of some good stuff.

No problem ,i needed to clean up my transferfunctions on filters anyway  :lol:

^ you're not alone on this. Which literature are you using? - I need to reacquire books on these topics.
My old analog teacher wrote an excellent book on filters, but it's in Danish, so..  (IIRC: "Sådan bygges aktive filtre", by Jens Langvad)

I'm using the holy bible of electronics; The art of electronics by Horowitz and Hill.Got all 3 editions. ::)

^ of course ;)  I had forgotten about that one, a must have.

Bibles I must (or already) have:

Holy bible of electronics; The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill
The RCA Tube Handbook
How to Build Speaker Enclosures by Badmaieff and Davis
Bit-Slice Microprocessor Design by Mick and Brick  (bible on digital logic)

Still need to find a good source on digital filters and DSP programming - any pointers, anyone?

That bitslice book looks good.

Thanks for the dsp link.
About the Mick and Brick book..  published in 1980, and  very much about AMD's 2900 series bitslice microcontrollers, the [very] real use of it today is its vast range of most any useful type of logic in computer and control systems, complete with full description of logic, theory of operation and application, even has truth tables. So, very educational - no wonder, as it simply covers building the Berkeley-1 mainframe (at Berkeley University).

(the 2900 controllers were used with 4-bit slices, which were processing devices that could be cascaded to desired word-width. Other devices were ALU, numeric processor, register file, i.e. everything you'd need to build your own high performance processor. I worked with those in the DK Rowsing CR-80 mainframes, used as communications controllers on a project for American Airlines).
