No start press is a publishing house focusing on computer books, and this article will introduce you to a new book called open circuits If you want to make up for your interesting circuit knowledge, open circuits is a good choice - because one of the authors, windell oskay, is the founder of even mad scientist laboratories, and Eric schlaepfer, the second author, is well known by everyone with the twitter account @tubetimeus.

The subtitle of the book "open circuits" is "the inner beauty of electronic devices", and the two authors are really trying to let everyone understand the creative composition of large and small electronic products.
In order to explain in simple terms, the book is not only equipped with beautiful photos, but also specially disassembled a pile of components to show its internal structure and describe its working principle.
Thick film resistor array
Taking an article on thick film resistor arrays as an example, the author explores the interior and exterior of the components and points out the details that many readers may have glimpsed.
As shown in the figure, you may be able to distinguish these color parts on a printed circuit board (PCB), but you never stop to think about how it works.

Therefore, the author of open circuits simply disassembled several of them to show the simplicity, low-key and elegance of the component in detail.
In fact, there is no lack of art in life, just the lack of eyes to find beauty - and this is also true in the electronic devices around us.
Ceramic disc capacitor
In addition to low-key resistors, capacitors can also be seen everywhere in electronic products. However, from an artistic point of view, cheap ceramic disc capacitors are much more elegant than precision chip mounted components.
Interested friends can order more than 300 pages of open circuits from now on. The hardcover book costs $40. If all goes well, it will be shipped around September.
