Circuit Construction page

        This page is the reference section on how to build the analogue to digital converter circuit. Before someone starts to buy
parts and assembling the circuit we recommend that the text is read in its entirety.  A comprehensive parts list is provided
as well as the numbers and approximate prices of each part.  The supplier that the group obtained the part from and the parts'
reference number has been listed as well.  Below is a link to view both the actual circuit and the diagram that was provided on
the Maxim website.  The rest is information on how to build the AD/C circuit in step by step instruction form.  If any problems
occur or questions arise, feel free to email us at palmtek18@yahoo.com and we will attempt to answer your inquiry promptly.

Special Requirements for Parts in the Tutorial

    The parts listed in the Circuit Tutorial generally have no special requirements for assembly.  Following the tutorial provided below and referring to the diagrams above should be sufficient.  However, a word of caution about ordering.  Some companies including the Newark and Digi-Key have minimum order requirements.  BE SURE TO KNOW THEM.  If you want to avoid mass ordering the companies generally supply samples to individuals after receiving a written request.  The Maxim site below does have sample requests however shipping is usually one to two weeks, and unfortunately part mix ups very common.
