Don Lancaster's CMOS Coookbook and Active Filter Cookbook

[notnews]

Hey all,

I didn't see any stickies in the Library sub-forum about making .pdf book requests, if this is inappropriate please delete or I'm glad to.

I'm looking for .pdf versions of Lancaster's CMOS Cookbook and his other Active Filter Cookbook. I was able to find his TTL Cookbook, which honestly is super thorough and easy to grasp as someone who didn't have much experience at all in digital logic circuits but as someone who understands discrete math pretty well... though I don't think that background in math is necessary.

Anyway.. if anyone has either of those Cookbooks please help out!

Best,
Alex

Hey All

I was able to acquire all three of Lancaster's texts in .pdf form

- TTL Cookbook

If anyone wants any of these feel free to post and I'll forward them!

THANKS! Greatly appreciate you sharing these!
Been playing around with the Robot Devil lately and it has made me very interested in learning more about CMOS stuff.
Got a layout for a pretty wicked modified version of it, that I will post soon...

I have a load of stuff in my Dropbox as well, so I'll look trough it and see if I find some stuff that people might find interesting for sharing as well.

Damn I love this place/you guys! Best forum and community on the whole damn web!!!

Cheers!

Just thought i would put a link to some of my pdfs that i have acquired over the last few years. A lot are loudspeaker and amp building stuff, also others in there like the stompbox cookbook. Enjoy!

many thanks hozy.

which of these would you most recommend to a thick person who doesn't know anything about cmos, and not a huge amount about electrical theory in general, and who needs a painless way in?

obviously it's for a friend.

Hi Tabbycat, Have a look in Notnews's link there is the CMOS cookbook pdf in there.

[tabbycat]

thanks for the recommendation hozy. am kind of moving from guitar to synth things now, so need to up my game re those curious beetley ic things. will mix cookbook and freppo's wonderful blogs to ease my way in.

Thanks for the drop-box resources,. I am getting on and looking for things to fiddle with to keep the old brain active. I go the active filters and the synthesizer cookbooks. Actually i started out looking for an article by Walter G. Jung on using an NE570/571 as a Wien bridge oscillator and have been  all over the place.
I finally got the circuit in an Amateur Radio magazine.
the world is an interesting place.

It's probably worth saying that Don Lancaster is still around, and has recently been posting his old books as free PDFs on his website. (He's also been collecting all his old magazine articles and columns there, so delving into the site repays effort.) The books are at https://www.tinaja.com/ebksamp1.shtml ; the TTL, CMOS, and Active Filter Cookbooks are there, as are his earlier RTL Cookbook and contemporary but forgotten TV Typewriter Cookbook, and maybe a half-dozen others. The books have been cleaned up and restored; instead of old, maybe-OCRed scans, he's made these look maybe better than they did in print.

Hey pal, I realize this is from like 6 years ago....I wondered if'n you still had Don Lancaster's books as pdfs? I'd be much appreciative, and let me know if there is something I can do in return!

The post above yours has a direct link to the PDFs.
