The worst case won't get any better, whether series, parallel, or some other combination. The result of two 1 kΩ ±5% resistors in series is a 2 kΩ ±5% resistor. The probability that the result is ...
I've heard that input signals to digital circuits should be "de-bounced", at least sometimes. What is de-bouncing? Why is it needed? When is it needed? What is bouncing around in the first place?
Personally I'd rather have everyone use their real name and affiliation. That basically puts their reputation out there on anything they say. If you really believe in something, have the guts to ...
I am really confused how the terms bit-rate are baud-rate are used in electronics. I never bothered thinking about baud-rate being different than bit-rate before. But recently, one of my teachers t...
It could be OK if you are asking about technology reasons why a class of products will be phased out. Asking about forces that cause similar things in the past should be OK too, as long as the rea...
How to test a Tunnel diode in 25 words or less. With DC bias = ~490mV with fine tuning and a small signal swing of 60mV you can generate a IV negative slope of -16 Ohms.
Would a question about cabling repair be on-topic? My main focus would be to learn about the proper workmanship to do a professional, not just makeshift, repair on an automotive sensor cable.
... it is still unclear to me how to determine the voltage drop introduced by these transistors... Very interesting question... I have asked myself many times in the past... and I have not bee...
Not a diff amp Something doesn't make sense here. You want A1A to act as a differential amplifier, but that's not how you wired it: Here is a real diff amp: Note how the right side of R1 is...
I thought I understood the theory of scattering parameters, smith charts etc. until I tried a practical example. The following stupid example is supposed to be a microstrip line shunted by two 100...
In addition to Olin's answer: and I'm particularly interested in jfets and mosfets. If you decide to go down the FET route the dilemma between J and MOS gets down to home much you are willi...
In addition to what Lundin said, making ACK dominant means that something out there is actively responding, and that response is affirmative. If ACK were recessive, then the transmitting node bein...
In the absence of VNA product documentation...... Now, -9 dB is equivalent to a ratio of 0.34 approximately, and -3.53 db is equivalent to a ratio of 0.66 approximately. I expected S11 to be nea...
I have just raised a Q and A but when editing the answer (that involves a picture) there is no "live" version of the potentially finished post and this will prove to be a problem when making a comp...
I need to design a simple boost converter like this: - I want to control duty cycle from another circuit such as an MCU but, I'm unsure how to proceed. My requirements are: - Input voltage 12 vol...
Low-pass impedance transformation Theory Input Impedance: - $$Z_{IN} = j\omega L + \dfrac{\dfrac{R_L}{j\omega C}}{R_L + \dfrac{1}{j\omega C}} = j\omega L +\dfrac{R_L}{1 + j\omega R_L C} = \dfrac{j...
I have a signal at 10 MHz produced from a 50 Ω source. How can I match that to a 300 Ω load with low losses without using an RF transformer (space constraints)? Are there any circuits and formulas ...
How can I acquire electronic parts/items/modules and ensure that there is minimal risk of them being unsuitable for my project or design?
What is the relationship between the pole zero diagram and bode plot? Case example: a 2nd order RLC low pass filter: - $$\dfrac{V_{OUT}}{V_{IN}} = \dfrac{\frac{1}{j\omega C}}{R+j\omega L +\frac{1}...
The line at the top of the list of Questions is currently: General Q&A about the design and function of electronic and electric power systems, their theory, and tools specific to those fields. ...
In addition to the previous considerations, I will add a few more. Stages with voltage output (such as a voltage follower) are implemented as voltage dividers consisting of two elements in series "...
Recently I had opened an remote control (RC) toy to see its circuit and found that it operates on 27 Mhz. Not just that toy even many toys operate in that 27 and 49 Mhz band. These days we find eve...
You are asking for a filter that passes 2% at 60 Hz and 99% at 90 Hz. That comes out to a transition of 97% of the amplitude within 0.6 of an octave, which is quite aggressive. The real answer My ...
How the real pros would translate these needs into design rules for a calculator? Speaking as a pro I wouldn't use a calculator because I'd use a simulator and tinker with a few values until I go...
I suspect this is another of your trick questions and you are waiting for the chance to show us your unrivaled knowledge, but I will play the straight man for you. No. By definition, an SPST switch...
