The discussion focuses on seeking quality reference books for embedded and hardware design, particularly for someone who recently graduated and is struggling with hardware fundamentals like transistors, diodes, and op-amps. The individual feels confident in embedded design but needs to refresh their knowledge in hardware design. Participants suggest starting with "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill as a foundational text. The conversation highlights the abundance of available resources and the importance of selecting the right materials for effective learning. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for reliable references to strengthen hardware design skills.

I would appreciate it if anyone could add good quality reference books that would benefit me. I graduated in May and I have forgotten a lot of the material especially hardware design wise and my job is a mixture of embedded design and hardware design.

The embedded side I am doing fine but hardware wise I am drawing blanks especially with the fundamentals such as transistors, diodes, and op-amps.

There are a ton of books out there so I am going to try this forum to see if anyone has a favorite.

You can start with the AoE by H&H, and branch out from there:

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
