Hello folks,
Thought I'd start a thread about commercial schematics that you may have seen that really taught you something.
I personally have spent hours pouring through some of the old Symmetrix Audio schematics, as well as some of the Rane schematics.
For example, I spent HOURS understanding the schematic used for the Genx6 clock distribution circuit, and felt that I'd really learnt some clever tricks.

I think you learn a lot about a designer by looking at some of their work. The guy that did the Genx6 really comes across as an old school analog designer.
His (or her) design around the TLC2932 PLL device (Sheet 2) as well as the control/led circuitry (Sheet 4) really is a sight to behold.
Anyone else care to share a similar "ah-ha!" moment they got from reading another persons schematic/layout design?
Cheers

BTW -- now that I'm reading this, I do realize how much of a Dork that I may appear to be.
