But what is a Laplace Transform?
FREE Analog Engineer’s Circuit Cookbooks from Texas Instruments
Today over on the EEVblog forum I learned about the two ebooks available from Texas Instruments. One is for amplifier circuits and the other for data-conversion circuits, including both Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuits and Digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuits. I had to sign up for an account before I could download…

Silly Job Title: Prime Hack. I am the Prime Hack!
In this video we take a look inside Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits Volume 3 by Rudolf F. Graf.
Some circuits of interest included:
| Page | Circuit |
|---|---|
| 245 | Electronic Dice |
| 327 | Adder |
| 337 | Electrostatic Detector |
| 594 | On/Off Inverters |
Some things we needed to look up while flipping through:
CMRR is Common-Mode Rejection Ratio.
RIAA is Recording Industry Association of America.
RIAA equalization is a specification for the recording and playback of phonograph records, established by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
PUT is a Programmable Unijunction Transistor.
φ (phi) can represent an angle, typically the second angle mentioned, after θ (theta).
PEP is Peak Envelope Power.
For voltage signals you usually want high input impedance and low output impedance.
LVDT is a Linear Variable Differential Transformer.
NAB is North American Broadcasters. They defined phonograph standards similar to the RIAA’s.

Silly Job Title: Chief Fuse Blower. I am the Chief Fuse Blower!
In this video we continue to work through our Maxitronix 30in1, today doing project #3: The One-Way Street. In this project we learn a little more about diodes and LEDs.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to investigate voltages within our circuit.
We use the Sharp EL-546L Scientific Calculator to do some basic calculations.
We use the Carpenter Mechanical Pencil to make our notes.
We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.
