Cool new tools to help boost your analog expertise

Tweet

Over the years I have sifted through a lot of technical literature, been to
many seminars and viewed many online video trainings to gain a better
understanding of analog electronics. While there are mountains of excellent
material out there, I have noticed some general shortcomings.

First, it can be a struggle to find this material. Most engineers pull
information from many different technical papers, articles, seminars, and books.
It can take years to gather this material. Also, many articles assume knowledge
that you may not have, so it can be difficult to teach yourself analog
electronics. Furthermore, most literature provides the theory, but does not
provide practical, measured or simulated examples. Finally, much of the
understanding of analog electronics that I have gained over the years was taught
to me by some really sharp guys. This “tribal knowledge” is passed down from
engineer to engineer but is hard to find and is nonexistent in technical
literature.

TI Precision Labs is an online learning system that
addresses the shortcomings of the current literature. We’ve presented TI
Precision Labs in a logical sequence to facilitate the learning process. Our
goal is to make it a comprehensive resource; your one stop shop for analog
knowledge. Of course, this goal can’t be fully achieved since there is a nearly
infinite amount of material. Nevertheless, we are striving to provide a deep
resource and will continue to add material over time. We also teach using
practical calculations, simulations and real world measurements. In fact, TI
Precision Labs includes “hands-on” experiments that prove the theory.

Shown here is an example of a setup used for the
“hands-on” slew rate lab. I really believe that TI Precision Labs can quickly
improve your understanding of analog electronics.

Another tool that will consolidate your engineering
library is the Analog Engineer’s Pocket Reference. This
is a book of commonly used precision signal chain equations, tables, charts and
circuits. In fact, we much of the content in the book came from TI Precision
Labs videos.

The Analog Engineer’s Pocket Reference is available as a
downloadable PDF or e-book that can be viewed on your computer, smart phone or
tablet – providing fast access to needed information. I encourage you take some
time to test drive TI Precision Labs and the Analog Engineer’s Pocket
Reference. They will help you find solutions to your analog problems much
faster than before.
