Thanks for asking. In my view, if it's something you'd first think of asking an electrician, it's probably off topic here. That includes what type of cable to use, whether it should be in a condu...
*Learning about EMG as a part of our research. My team has at least some experience with electronics that is worth mentioning, but don't have any experience with EMG/bio-potentials. Most EMG hardwa...
I would like to save some costs with ideal diode controllers. Basic requirement is for the diode controller to block overcurrents (short circuits) in both directions. The MAX16141A IC can do it a...
I'm not very familiar with this site but was pointed to it by a comment. That made me wonder, what exactly is the scope of this site when it comes to residential wiring? For example, Basic wiri...
Feel free to provide a list here and someone will go through and update them. For instance, I've just renamed [led] to [LED]. Please include both the old tag name, the new name, and ideally an expl...
67 tags deleted, 10 with posts still attached left alive.
I've just finished a first clean-up of the tags pages, where I consolidated tags, provided synonyms, wrote guidance text and defined some hierarchy. As a result there are quite a lot of "dead" tag...
I am trying to figure out what is causing an Allegro A2982 source driver to burn up. The source driver (A2982) is connected to the coil of a Panasonic TXS2-9V relay. The source driver and coil ar...
Is there a scientific way to estimate the resistance of a pogo pin? Ultimately there must be, but it generally requires knowing things you don't know. Worrying about the resistance of the barrel ...
When should a transformer core be potted? Whenever you need some of Mechanical ruggedness. High dielectric strength. Minimize vibrations (and therefore audible whine) from capacitive, inductive...
My first knee-jerk reaction was to use opto-isolators. There are some that have been around for decades and are unlikely to go obsolete any time soon. I wasn't previously aware of these "digital ...
It depends on how you define "battery". I guess the definition is different depending on if you are a chemist, an engineer or a consumer. When electrical engineers speak of batteries, they typicall...
It has two female inputs on the backside that are labeled as "Grounding". This is incorrect. Take a closer look at the two connections and you will see that the left is labeled "Antenne" and t...
I am determining the Area-Product of the core required for a transformer to be used within a series resonant converter. The specifications are as follows: Switching frequency = 400 kHz Primary ...
The website that I mentioned before mentions the max flux density in ferrites at 400 kHz as being close to 0.04 T. Is this correct? No, you have misinterpreted the graph. The graph shown is fl...
A loss-less coaxial cable has inductance and capacitance and, their associated formulas introduce $\epsilon$ and $\mu$. But, to home-in on the velocity of propagation, the characteristic impedance ...
I want to know why the top-of-the-line CPUs and GPUs from Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD are all bragging about the fabrication process (7nm and 5nm) and trying to be consistently smaller. At the same tim...
Started writing a comprehensive answer, interrupted by some phone calls, finally finished it...and then accidentally clicked to another page and lost it. Arghh!!! So this answer may not be quite as...
Preface English isn't my first language. I'm still pretty green relatively as an electrical engineer with 3 years out of B.S. program and in the medical industry. This is my first post on any st...
For my opinion, it is not too complicated to reduce the various equations to a system of two equations with two unknowns (current Ib2 neglected), Let me try: Vb1-Vx=I5*R5 I5=IC4+Vb1/R3 IC4=Ue...
The simplicity of zero-crossing measurements is attractive. Regarding "Full period" zero crossing (i.e. time between rising-zero-crossings, or between falling-zero-crossings), compared to "half pe...
I've got a is self-powered USB device, which means that I have to do VBUS detection. The device is built around STM32G474. Unlike some other STM32s, the STM32G4 don't have a dedicated pin for VBUS...
There is no provision in FatFS or the fat32 filesystem in general regarding hot-unplug, so this behaviour depends wholly on the implementation layer for your hardware. As an example, in my use cas...
