How to become a master of advanced "magic electricity"
“If you want to really achieve something in analog circuits, then your learning path must be like an open-loop amplifier circuit, starting from the input and passing it backwards one level at a time.”
——"New Concept Analog Circuit"
Generally speaking, true analog electronics experts are good at grasping the application of simple knowledge modules. In fact, ordinary people who are different from experts are not incapable of application, but lack the basic knowledge that they despise, which limits their application. For example, the content of the "Transistor" section in general analog electronics books is such an existence in the eyes of many people. The following will focus on discussing with you how to advance to the master's strategy of "magic electronics"——
Nowadays, people's IQs are about the same, so what causes the gap between experts and non-experts? Patience and persistence in learning. "I don't like it, it's too simple, it's too troublesome..." Such thoughts often ruthlessly abandon many "geniuses". Because "the superstructure must depend on the underlying foundation". And our beloved teacher Yang has made it very clear in his new book: "For analog electronics, only when the foundation is solid can you give full play to your heart."
To put it bluntly, if you want to become a true analog electronics master, don't think about taking shortcuts. Otherwise, it is easy to end up "not being able to reach the highest level, nor being able to settle for the lowest level". Why do I say that? First of all, there is no saying that one piece of knowledge is more important or more advanced than another, they are all equally important. Even in the content like the "Transistor" section, there are many knowledge points that we need to take seriously, otherwise you may have all kinds of questions.
For example: What is the difference between a transistor and a field effect transistor? Why can the current in the base of a transistor control the current in the emitter and collector? In electronic circuits, what is the principle of diodes and transistors? Can the collector and emitter of a transistor be used interchangeably? ... These questions all come from the transistor chapter, but not every student can figure them out. (Welcome all experts to challenge and give your answers on the message board~ )
There are many reasons for this result, but they can be attributed to one point, which is "weak foundation and unclear theory". Of course, it may also be that you did not get a good set of study materials. As a person who has been through it, I know how much time I spent in class in college. How did everyone pass the exam? Relying on the review materials with precise positioning and relatively clear direction. If you want to go a long way in analog circuits, the editor recommends studying the "New Concept Analog Design·Transistor" section carefully. Because it can not only improve your basic theory, but also is a good book with precise positioning and clear direction. It can lay a solid foundation and help you to be truly free and easy in the analog world in the future.
In addition, if you want to become an excellent "analog electronics expert", you must also figure out your self-positioning. Analog technology is too broad, and only targeted learning can make you more professional. This point has been mentioned in previous articles, please refer to:
How to learn analog electronics well? Good books and good methods are all here! Finally, I would like to share Mr. Yang’s personal understanding of analog electronics, hoping to inspire you.
The electronic version of Professor Yang's second book "New Concept Analog Circuits: Negative Feedback and Operational Amplifier Basics" will be officially launched next week, and a free download channel will be opened for everyone at the same time. Please continue to pay attention to this public account and the "ADI Campus Plan" . (Come and call for the new book~ )
