im searching a book about IC s. not the insights of a chip but a practical guide on IC s itself. more precisely im searching a book which describes how to use video analog to digital converter (or simply ADC will work aswell); how to supply it, how to read it, so on... because of certain reasons i cant use a microcontroller

thankss

 

Based on your post, I would recommend you visit some manufacturer's websites and browse their application notes and tutorial pages. You can get up-to-date info from these and more sources including sample circuits and references:
