My fellow electrical and Electronics Engineers, I know there are a lot of young engineers or starters here, who I need a guidance on electronics circuits design. So, what's the way for one to learn circuits design from the scratch, meaning let say I have an idea of circuit that will do a certain job, so how do I go about making the idea into reality? Thank you!

- \$\begingroup\$ What level of knowledge do you have already? The classical way is to start learning many basic building blocs (at school/university or in books if you want to self study). Once you know enough blocks, when you have a new problem, you split it into simpler parts until you can use one of your known blocs for each part. And sometimes, if you have a precise bloc with a limited scope, you try to find out if there isn't already a basic bloc that you don't know yet. \$\endgroup\$Sandro– Sandro2025-12-11 18:54:14 +00:00Commented yesterday

- \$\begingroup\$ Note that how many/complex starting blocs you want to learn before starting to build more complex circuits is up to you. As a child, with a building kit, after having done all or most of the circuits in the manual, I was already able to "invent" a lot of circuits on my own. But of course, with few basic blocs, my circuits where limited to rather simple ones. \$\endgroup\$Sandro– Sandro2025-12-11 18:57:00 +00:00Commented yesterday
