how in the world do you know which cap, resistor, diode you should use (and where) when you design your electronic projects ?!
I mean, how do you know you need to put a 10Kohms in pin 32 of this IC ? and a 0.1µF cap in pin 12 ?!
I first thought
but if I follow this, I sould add resistor on every pin ?ok, read the datasheet of the IC. If you see it need 200mA, select your resistor!
then, reading a datasheet, I see the part 'Exemple of design' with a beautiful picture of the IC with 1 resistor and 2 caps...
ok...but why ??? If the IC MUST have this 3 components, why aren't they included IN the IC ? so it should mean it is, like the title said, an example.
But what components must I choose for MY design ?
Sorry for this post, you should now see me like the BIG newbie I am but, if I can design a project using this IC with this one and another one, I'm UNABLE to add the (passive?) components between them
Why it's not as simple as an optional voltage regulator (to avoid fire!), ICs and wires!?
