The discussion revolves around finding a specific book titled "Introduction to IC Design and Applications" or "Basic IC Theory" by an author referred to as XYZ *son, published around 1979. The book is aimed at electrical engineers, providing a physical background for those familiar with applications but seeking deeper understanding. A notable quote from the book highlights that engineers prioritize practical application over theoretical details. Another book mentioned in the conversation is "Microelectronic Circuits," which also includes some physics theory but lacks comprehensive detail. The thread seeks assistance in identifying the elusive book based on these descriptions.

Hi
I'm looking for a book of which I can't remember exactly the title or the author. It was something along the lines of

"Introduction to IC design and applications"
"Basic IC theory"

by a guy called XYZ *son, I think. It's a little black book from somewhen around 1979 or so. I remember its aimed at electrical engineers and tries to give some physical background to people who know of the applications but who wish to extend their understanding of the underlying physics.
There's a sentence in the first chapter or introduction saying something like "Engineers don't care about electrons and just want to get on with it."

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Not really, but I know another one called

"Microelectronic Circuits"

It has some physics theory also, though not in complete detail.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
