[Boatanchors] Motorola Application Notes

[Chris Trask]

     I recently had a need to find a PDF copy of a fairly routine Motorola application note, and quickly found that Freescale has deleted almost all of the older ones.  In addition to that. the vast majority of sites out there that claim to have any are entirely bogus.  There's even one that has links to the old Motorola SPS site which went MIA about 10-15 years ago when Motorola broke the SPS division off into Freescale and ON semiconductor.

     I have a fairly large collection of these related to analogue, RF, and microwave design, but I'm still lacking quite a few.  One fellow sent me a huge box of everything he had, including a number of packets of microfich.  Even so, I still lack quite a few and after exhausting what can be found by way of the search engines I need to look at other resources.  Scanning the small versions in the bound books is a last resorts as they don't come out very sharp when they are enlarged for 8.5x11 pages.

     Here are some of the ones that I'm interested in locating in PDF or treeware format:

AN-174  High-Efficiency, Low-Voltage Inverters
AN-176  Power Varactor Gived 5 Watts Output at 3 GHz
AN-182  A Method of Predicting Thermal Stability
AN-186  A Single Stage Video Amplifier
AN-189  Solid State Pulse Width Modulation DC Motor Control
AN-191  Varactor Diodes and Circuits for High Power Output and Linear Response
AN-193  Using Negative Bias to Improve SCR Performance
AN-196  EPICAP Tuning of Resonant Circuits
AN-199  A Solid State 15 kHz Power Inverter
AN-203  Tuned Amplifier Design with an Emitter-Coupled Integrated RF Amplifier
AN-213  Varactor Multipliers Provide High Output Power Above 6 GHz
AN-214  A 160 MHz 15 Watt Solid State Power Amplifier
AN-216  UHF Transmission-Line Oscillator Design Using the Smith Chart
AN-217  UHF Transmission Line Power Amplifier Designed with Smith Chart Techniques
AN-221  4-Layer and Current Limiter Diodes Reduce Circuit Cost and Complexity
AN-223  Cascade Noise Figure for Integrated Circuit Transistors
AN-225  High Performance All Solid State Servo Amplifiers
AN-226  Thermal Measurements in Semiconductors
AN-227  Thyristor Trigger Circuits for Power Control Applications
AN-232  1.5 GHz 10 Watt Two-Stage Cascade Multiplier

     There are quite a few others that I'm interested in finding, but this short list will do for now.
