Talk about basic circuits and BB
Got some ideas?
Hey, can you put the eagle cad schematic sources up? That way other folks can copy and paste for new circuits, or adapt the ones there (need a better meter symbol, for example).
This is russ_hensel who did a lot of this yet unfinished page. I will try to pull something together on the eagle files in the next few days and post it somewhere, but do not get too excited, I had to create some of the parts and I did just enough for the schematic, the internal details and footprints are typically junk.
Update The link is here. Formerly Missing Link

high side switch
I find the high-side switch section (Basic Circuits and Circuit Building Blocks#Transistor High Side Switch) confusing. The text seems to describe a PNP high side switch (or perhaps a Pfet?), while the diagram shows a NPN high side switch.
I've seen PNPs on the high side in some circuits. I've also seen NPNs on the high side in other circuits.
Would mentioning both kinds on this page lead to unnecessary confusion? If so, which kind is the best for the purposes of this page? --DavidCary 20:06, 2 August 2008 (PDT)
