    Schematic Books?

    I talked to this guy a while back who had a rather nice collection of like 5 or 6 books that were all schematics of electronics. If my memory serves me correctly I think they were by topic, like power supplies, audio, video, etc. per volume. They were pretty decent sized books as well. Now, I have no clue what the name of the books or series is, does anyone have something that sounds similar to what I'm describing? If so what's it called?

    Thanks in advanced!

      That's only for the older stuff, the ones manufacturers provided schematics for.

      For newer, it'd be best to look online... or in China:

        Thanks for the links but that's not them... I will see if I can find the guys email address and ask him. If I ever do find out what they are call I will post the name so you guys can go check it out, they really are great books to have around.

          I was able to find the books I was talking about! They are called: " Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits", there are 7 Volumes. I was able to find PDFs of Vol 1-6 online. These are great, just page after page of general schematics! Some of this has to be a little outdated seeing the last volume (Vol. 7) was published in 1998, but still think it has to hold some relevance in today's electronic circuitry!

            Power supplies are manufactured today that use variants/versions of parts created in the 1980s (e.g. the 3842 family or original series "IRF" MOSFETs) and the 1970s (e.g. 3524, LM339, TL431 & TL494 ICs and 2N2219/2N2222, 2N2905/2N2907, MJE13007 and 13009 transistors). The self-oscillating discontinuous flyback design, still used today, was used back in the late 1970s (e.g. the Apple II P/S built by Astec or Boschert's OL25 family). Sometimes using newer parts that cost more doesn't yield enough improvement to make economic sense.
