Why are CY capacitors on the source side, and not on the load side? You may not be grasping what the image shows. The left-side port connects to the AC power-line. It supplies power to the rig...
I'll take it that you want this circuit to actually work, not just appear to work in some software simulation. In that case, it's about the circuit, not the simulator. A simulator is just one too...
I'm working on an energy harvesting circuit known as an in-house harvesting circuit (cc-ih) and would appreciate some guidance on implementing it in Simscape within Simulink. Circuit Description: ...
The flashing-light frequency shall be 90+/-30 times per minute. I don't know what could be more clear. This spec says that the light must flash 90 times per minute, ±30 times per minute. In othe...
I am working with an IC that uses a partially intergrated regulated charge pump. The circuit looks like this: It behaves like a voltage doubler. However, when looking at other regulated charge p...
Even the best fiberglass and epoxy will suffer under certain conditions. Boat builders routinely test their mixes at varying temperatures and salinity levels. For the best knowledge for your use ca...
I'm not familiar with this device, but it is possible that different variants were made or were possible with the same PCB. Consider the documentation you have as general guidance, not necessarily...
How does this work - how does it improve THD performance? As with any transformer connected to a live wire, there will be an AC voltage common mode signal transferred by winding capacitance to...
Your question is answered in the very next sentence in the datasheet after the one you quoted: This split-burden resistor configuration ensures that the waveforms fed to the positive and negative...
Hello! I would like to ask for your assistance with using a Silverstone DA1650 Gold computer power supply (you can find more about it here: Silverstone DA1650 Gold) for a non-computer application. ...
Safety of medical devices is not something you should be asking random folks on the internet about. The rules are stringent, for good reason. The clearance and creepage distances to line voltage,...
The reason I left that comment is because determining the quality of a coaxial cable involves electrical engineering more so than an electrician, let alone some DIY. The rule of thumb "would you a...
the original question is interesting and deserves a technical answer So go write one. That's your call, just like it's mine not to. We are all volunteers here, and are therefore never obligated ...
There is no definite answer to this but, if you want my advice, you store all symbols and footprints locally with your project. Of course you may begin by using standard parts from a global (comes-...
I don't know about "best practices", but I make all my own library parts. I use Eagle, and the library parts that come with Eagle are quite inconsistent in things like pad shapes, what is shown on...
I've seen batteries get shorted a few times. They heat up, and obviously the battery is not useful after, but I've never seen them explode or catch fire. I've read reports of some batteries catchin...
Since you seem to be asking about whole batteries, not individual bare cells, dangerous effects should be limited. Consumer batteries made from lithium cells almost always include integrated prote...
I have a similar problem when debugging firmware on a dsPIC that drives a flyback power supply. The switch isn't designed to be on for very long, as eventually the inductor saturates. Usually the...
The two ICs you reference don't do the same thing. The first sentence of the first datasheet says: The MAX16141/MAX16141A ideal diode controllers provide system protection against a variety of sy...
I don't have that book, but the statement you cite (emphasis mine): ... when s=jω the integral on the RHS of eq. 2.48 does not converge for unstable systems doesn't mean the transfer function...
A while back someone suggested that we added a section for reviews to the site - How about a new section for code reviews? From that meta thread we gathered that: There seems to be community con...
Breakpoints are beyond the scope of the C language, so this is up to the specific debugger and CPU core. What you will probably have to do to block accidental breakpoints is to not provide any debu...
Additions: Do not use company names in tags. Questions should be about specific products, not about companies. Furthermore, silicon companies merge/split and purchase each other all the time, ...
Draft for a tag creation/deletion criteria A tag must fulfill all of the below requirements or it may get renamed or deleted: A tag must be named appropriately, considering Tag naming guideline...
Here is another take at that problem. First let's define some quantities that will be useful later: \[ \begin{align} A &= \frac {V_2} {V_1} \qquad\qquad B = \frac {R_L} {R_S} ...
