Make: Electronics, 3rd Edition

Dedication

This third edition is dedicated to the memory of Hans Camenzind, a brilliant designer of analog integrated circuits who came from Switzerland to the Bay Area in the early days of Silicon Valley. For a while he worked at Signetics, then quit to create the 555 timer entirely on his own. It became the most widely used integrated circuit in history, as many billions of copies were manufactured over a period of fifty years. Even now, it is used at some point by almost everyone who learns electronics.
