Do most of you realize that all manufacturers have their products with Data Sheets and Application Notes ON THE WEB, DOWNLOADABLE in pdf, for absolutely free! The only one they would charge for are stuff less than two years old. AN Application Note is a printable form of documentation that gives you several( if not MANY) schematics and parameters for the use of each chip. As an Example go to the Home page for Analog Devices (I'm leaving for you to Google it as part of this exercise, you want to learn, right?) and look at every category. Learn to use this manufacturer's website. Do a search on AN-347, AN-937, and AN-131. DO NOT BE AFRAID OR INTIMIDATED. YOU CAN LEARN TO READ AND USE THE DOCUMENTS! All manufacturers have the Application Notes(or AN's). It's how engineers pick and choose an item to put in a prototype product to show to management to see if they want to mass produce.
