Pitch is defined as the center-to-center measurement between two pins/legs of the component. Connectors in particular are always categorized by manufacturers/retailers based on pitch, so it is the...
I intend to build a high-power series LC resonant circuit for the purpose of generating strong magnetic fields at a wide range of frequencies, mostly audio range (1-5000 Hz). The inductor coil is a...
There actually seem to be two different questions here. Can a primary (non-rechargable) battery be damaged by forcing reverse current thru it? Yes. Primary batteries are only intended to source ...
Has anyone else noticed a loss of reputation recently. I thought I checked yesterday and my reputation was a hundred points higher at 1889. Now it is at 1789. My vote summary doesn't indicate a los...
What is the concept behind the dynamic resistance that often pops up when dealing with non-linear components and the circuits in which they are employed? Is the concept related to other terms like...
Yet another example. If using MOSFETs only for power switching applications, it can seem like these are "robust" and "immune" to ESD events. While the package clearly states "ESD sensitive", devi...
I understand that white noise is not always Gaussian. In general, is the $V_{pp}$ and $V_{RMS}$ noise stated in operational amplifier and ADC datasheets Gaussian? And is its mean zero? Any exemptio...
One of the challenges with this particular controller is that it's wireless. Wireless devices need a) a clear enough RF channel to the receiver and b) a suitable power supply, namely batteries. B...
When recording an ECG signal, the raw signal is taken from the body and sent into an ECG amplifier to amplify the signal to a suitable range and remove common mode and other types of noise. Measur...
The electrodes electrically connect to the skin in order to pick up tiny signals produced by the heart muscles. Electrically you're a bag of saltwater. Your skin (the bag) has a relatively high r...
Let's say a 100V voltage spike arrives at +12V and the TVS diode clamps it to 25V. Q2 may or may not be activated. Will this circuit ensure a V_gs lower than 25V for the mosfet Q1 ? Any catch to it...
is the "X" point floating when there is no 12V applied ? Perhaps over a limited range, depending on whether the 12V line is left open or connected to something other than 12V. Case 1: The volt...
It looks like you've sort of re-discovered a motivation for Fourier analysis. The difference between looking at slope versus frequency content is exactly the difference between time domain and fre...
The submarine built by OceanGate went missing on 18th June 2023. A lot of online criticism was directed towards the control hardware of the submarine - Logitech F710 controller. However, why i...
What you are asking for is totally unrealistic, and your numbers don't add up. With 10 mH and 80 µF, the resonant frequency is 178 Hz. Getting down to 1 Hz even with 10 mH would require over 2.5 ...
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorr...
The first circuit uses the FET in follower mode. That means it works as an impedance buffer with a gain a little below 1. Such configuration can be useful to turn a high impedance signal into a l...
I've not seen them sold separately through distributors like Mouser and such, and have not seen any hand tools for these. I found this document and this video - it looks like the machines are semi-...
If the TVS truly clamps the "+12V" line to 25 V, then the VGS of Q1 can't exceed 25 V. However, if you want to limit the gate voltage, limit the gate voltage. A Zener between gate and source guar...
I have an mcu pin and I want to sense a voltage up to 24V to 36V. I want to connect some outputs on the board I'm designing and I don't know whether those outputs will provide a voltage or will be...
Here's the thing, and this is where I think there's a disconnect of understanding. On Stack Exchange, and to a similar extent here, question closure signals "this question is not suitable for this ...
I am trying to understand tunnel diodes by experimenting with them. Research tells me they can have negative resistance, and can be used to build a high frequency oscillator. Tunnel diodes are su...
As I understand it, microwave oven magnetrons operate at 2.45GHz, which is an unlicensed band in most of the world. When 2.4GHz technologies such as WiFi (802.11), Bluetooth and Zigbee were launche...
Is it possible to add the name of the OP near each question inside the question list? Only the name of the "last activity" person appears there. For me, that would help. I would like to see somet...
All good designs and design testing is based on information contained in the component data sheets. A solar panel is no different so, you need to establish the operating conditions for measuring vo...
