Schematic

Part 3: Common Circuit Schematics The third part in a three part series on reading Electronic Schematics. Using the Arduino Uno reference design as an example, we look at common circuits we might find when reading a schematic. Part 1: Passive Components Part 2: Active Components

Part 2: Active Component Symbols Schematics are the language used to describe electrical and electronic circuits. To understand how to read them, you need to know how each of the basic symbols look. Part 2 of this 3 part tutorial describes the symbols used for active components like diodes, transistors (BJTs and MOSFETs).

Schematics Part 1: Passive Component Symbols Schematics are the language used to describe electrical and electronic circuits. To understand how to read them, you need to know how each of the basic symbols looks. Part 1 of this 3 part tutorial describes passive components like resistors, capacitors, and wires.
