Q&A Summing op-amp 10 meters long

Yes, that should work. Each sensor is then dumping a current related to its measurement onto a single common wire. Basically, the sensor outputs are summed because currents add. 10 m shouldn't b...

Q&A Ground loss protection

It all depends on what is connected between the main board and this "hat" board. Your schematic doesn't show any of these connections, so we can't really tell. In the end, the high current loop s...

Q&A OP-AMP PT100 signal conditioner

I'm going to guess that by "PT100" you mean a positive coefficient temperature sensor with a nominal resistance of 100 Ω at 0°C or 25°C. Whatever it is you mean, it should be in your question. Th...

Q&A Which transistor type to use for charge shuttle, as part of an active charging circuit?

I've figure probably not an IGBT since their gate requires too much current, while a BJT would be too wasteful as well, so would that mean a MOSFET or JFET is the best choice? First, let's cla...

Q&A Which transistor type to use for charge shuttle, as part of an active charging circuit?

You need something with very low on-state voltage drop. That effectively means some type of FET. Those look resistive when on, as opposed to a voltage source like a BJT does. You need to look ca...
