Practical books on electronics?

Question

Electronics

Not long ago I started reading a book on computer design. It turned out to assemble a very simple computer from logic gates in hdl (16-bit processor with one register, 32Kbytes of ROM for instructions). It would be interesting to make this piece of iron, but there is not enough theory and practice (there are almost none). Who knows good how-to books or manuals on soldering, PCB making, integrated circuits, etc.?

Answer 1

You need to start from a low level - logic, encoders-decoders, registers, memory. And then take something else. But on discrete elements, nothing particularly complicated is being soldered now. Much easier and more convenient to do on a microcontroller. There are percents, and memory, and ports, and timers, and PWM .... It's better to dig in this direction. It seems I answered somewhere in much more detail on this topic, see other answers. Too lazy to paint.

Answer 2

"Who knows good how-to books or guides on soldering, PCB manufacturing, integrated circuits"
What is the goal, build your own computer or get bogged down in particulars?
PCB manufacturing (see "laser iron", LUT) and soldering are by no means interesting, KMK, and important nuances will be forgotten, like any skill that does not have constant use.
Making ICs at home - are you laughing? Take the FPGA and that's it. Moreover, there is already HDL.
A textbook on boards and soldering can be called "Production technology of electronic computing equipment." For the manufacture of ICs - "Microelectronic Technology" interspersed with "Solid State Physics".

Answer 3

"Digital Electronics for Beginners". Author: Kirichenko P. G. He will teach you how to assemble circuits from discrete elements on a solderless breadboard - from valves to a RAM breadboard.
"Digital Synthesis. Practical Course" - a practical addition to the textbook "Digital Circuitry and Computer Architecture" (authors: David Harris and Sarah Harris), all examples are already on Verilog and FPGAs.
If you really want to solder, wire and etch boards - you can take any modern "children's" book on the basics of electronics: C. Platt "Electronics for Beginners", Yuri Revich "The ABC of Electronics" and "Entertaining Electronics", E. Dahl "Electronics for children", F. Schaeffer "Electronic experiments for children" - there are all these practical points.

Answer 4

"The Art of Circuitry" / Paul Horowitz, Winfeld Hill
"Entertaining Electronics" 5th edition / Yuri Revich
