I34 IO. The AnaloglDigital Boundary

So, we take leave of the analoddigital world-sort of. In the next chapter, we’ll
visit another area of great importance to analog/digital electronics, but it is a purely
linear region, perhaps the most purely linear: References. Armed with knowledge
about references, we’ll move on to the troubleshooting of power electronics,
including switching regulators.
