What's inside?

Idea behind this repository is to collect in one place all valuable information more or less related to digital circuit design topic. I was heavily inspired by legendary repo by John Washman dedicated to software engineers.

I treat this repo as an collection of knowledge which interests me the most - throught last few years I have collected singificant number of materials related to both analog and digital electronics and now I would like review them and keep in one place.

Electronics basics

Semiconductor physic
