ANN: Updated Models & Schematics on My Website
I have updated my Device Models & Subcircuits page. Comments invited.
I welcome suggestions of models you'd like to see created. With years of benign neglect, I've accumulated more than 600 schematics on my S.E.D/Schematics page. So I'm busy indexing everything... after two days of work I'm just up to "H" :-( I'm also coalescing topics, so that sequential improvements, as discussions of a problem evolved, will be combined and a descriptive cover added where appropriate. Again, comments welcome. Where possible, graphics from the OP's problem statement will be added. The names of OP's proven to be assholes will be rendered anonymous... that is their names will be replaced with "some asshole" :-} http://www.analog-innovations.com/ ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Love means never having to say you're sorry.

He was great--I'd been working with him since about 1998. I don't know the new person yet.

It's offensive to me to endure certain assholes who are fond of implying I haven't done anything. (But I still need to get many releases... much of what I've done is current technology...

(At IBM in the late 90s, I was blessed with very understanding managers. When I went into my annual performance review for 1998, I somewhat nervously told them that no, I really hadn't done any of what we'd agreed to for that year, but then plunked down a binder containing my nearly completed book manuscript. Not only did I survive, but they gave me a nice raise.) Cheers Phil Hobbs Fortunately I now keep copious notes about my designs... provoked by the Chrysler ignition controller fiasco...

Generalizing the design approaches to make the book more of an apprenticeship-in-a-box does the most good, I think. There are lots of books that talk about _what_ people have done, but not so many that talk about _why_, and very few indeed that give much of a clue about which ones to chose for a given problem. Cheers Phil Hobbs Actually, I wrote (and presented) a series of seminars for ICE that cover the nuts and bolts of bipolar design. I could modernize something like that. ...Jim Thompson Most of the advanced amplifier books that I know about present things like the f_T doubler as though they sprang from the forehead of Zeus, and then analyze them. Something about all the messing around you have to do in order to come up with a useful new topology would be really useful. Hollister, which is the best of the bunch, has a sort of iterative progression that I like a lot, but there's something about discovering a new-to-you topology that makes it your own somehow. Increases the confidence level, anyway. I reinvented some of the classical small circuits before I knew that they were classical--I expect that many of us who started out as hobbyists did.

Cheers Phil Hobbs Greetings Phil, What you said about discovering something new to you makes a lot of sense. Partly because you then understand it. When trying to understand the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle I thought about it but didn't really get it. But when I thought of a mechanism that illustrated to me how it worked it all clicked. Sometime later I read an article that used the same explanation that I had "invented". I was not surprised of course. Good ideas, because they are good ideas, tend to be discovered by lots of folks.

(As long as it doesn't cost as much as Phil's.) Yo' mama. Books on electronics, even analogue, have a much bigger potential market than optics books. So far I've sold about one copy for every 3 members of the Optical Society, but that's still only about 6000 copies. Getting the same market penetration in the IEEE would be about 140,000 copies. You have to amortize the cost over significantly smaller print runs. Besides, mine's over 800 pages of small print!
