Hi folks,
I've been here a long time, but I'm a hack. I can build stuff from schematics, but I can't design anything. I'm trying to change that and so I've decided to actually try and learn electronics (what a concept, haha). I like building modular synths and so I'm starting by trying to really understand the inner workings of a 555. I understand the big picture of what the chip itself does, but I'm trying to understand how the descrete transistors that make up each comparator works. To be clear, I literally just watched this video on how transistors work and this is the level I'm hoping to be working in:
Can anyone ideally point me to a video or documentation that would describe every step of the descrete comparators in a 555 (or anything similar. I found this, but it's in Italian ( I think):
Thanks!
