### Company Resources
Official websites for manufacturer of analog ICs or solutions sometimes have very useful information about circuit designs and sample circuits in the form of
* Application Notes
* Tutorials
* Webinars
* Courses

#### Analog Devices
[Website](https://www.analog.com/en/index.html)
AD makes a lot of analog IC. Go to the "Educations" tab at the top. There are plenty of good stuff in there.

[Electronics I and II](https://wiki.analog.com/university/courses/electronics/text/electronics-toc)
AD's take on Electronics I and II. Very practical. Good if you want to go hands on quick.
#### Texas Instruments
TI has some nice application notes but I have not found a good place to search for all of them.
#### Digikey
Digikey is an online reseller of electronics.
[Website](https://www.digikey.tw/)
Go to the 資源 tab on the top to find some good stuff.
[Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@digikey)
Lots of cool videos to learn. "Shawn Hymel Presents" is a great series of playlist on topics such as STM32, KiCAD, FPGA, FreeRTOS and more.
#### Altium
[Altium Academy Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@AltiumAcademy)
Altium is a company that makes EDA for PCB design
s. There are webinars, short clips and many more in their channel.

#### KiCAD tools
This video shows how to make a 2 layer PCB with an MCU with KiCAD. Cannot emphisize too much on how great this is.
