To read any text written in another language, you need to know at least the alphabet. It is impossible to read a microcircuit without knowing special symbols - a kind of alphabet of electronics.
Instructions
Step 1
Find several reference books on electronics. In order to read the microcircuits, you need to familiarize yourself with the conventional graphic designations or, as they are also called otherwise, UGO. There are several different types of UGO: according to domestic standards and foreign ones. In turn, foreign ones are divided into European and American. There are a lot of differences between them. For example, a resistor in the European UGO system is indicated by a rectangle, and in the American one it is depicted as a zigzag line.
Step 2
Pay attention to the peculiarities of the designations of the connection of parts. In diagrams, parts are connected by lines. To read the microcircuit correctly, you need to know that if two lines (in the diagram symbolize wires) intersect or one bypasses the other in an arc, then there is no connection between them. If a small filled circle is shown between these lines at their intersection, this means that the wires in this section are connected to each other. On the contrary, in diagrams made using pseudo-graphics, the intersection of lines means a connection between the wires, and the absence of a connection is shown by the breaking of one of the lines in the place where the other passes.
Step 3
To read pseudo-graphic diagrams, you need to use a monospaced font and clearly highlight the differences between other methods of drawing up diagrams that are subject to various domestic and foreign standards.
Step 4
Distinguish between complex designations in the drawing. For example, in order to read a microcircuit correctly, you need to know that a wiring harness (the harness can be virtual, i.e. the wires are not twisted) is indicated by a thickened line. At the output from the bundle, each wire of normal cross-section is usually numbered. The finished node can be connected to several connectors at once, each of which is separately numbered. The numbering rule for connectors depends on their type.
