I think you missed the point entirely. You really need a book or 
something else that simply teaches you the basics. That in the end is 
much more effective than asking questions here one at a time. I don't 
have a book to recommend (I actually learned it from reading 
datasheets). Ken apparently has, so my suggestion is to buy that book. I 
can do that in two ways 1) simply say: 'Andy, buy that book', but that 
has the problem that I cannot decide how you should spend your money or 
2) what I said above. You are of course entirely free to see 2) as a 
less friendly way, just as I am allowed to be totally flabbergasted by that.
