Q&A Cable Capacitance and Barrier/Cable/Sensor Circuit Geometry Evaluation for Intrinsically Safe Circuits

If I’m understanding correctly, most cable manufacturers supply two capacitance values in their cable spec (if you’re lucky). Those two values are: Conductor-to-Conductor (C-C) Conductor-to-Othe...

Q&A STM32. What should be done in firmware for VBUS detection through a GPIO pin?

I've found a solution, and tested it. What @Olin wrote earlier holds. This is to post my code for STM32. Does the VBUS detection have to be done in an interrupt? I've asked the ST's technic...

Q&A What are these mystery components (one of wire coil, another labeled "100-10L A9")?

The component with the coil of wire is an inductor. Judging from the small size, it is probably only a few µH. There are lots of uses for inductors, like for filters, switching power supplies, tu...

Q&A How do we calculate signal rise time from frequency

Your question is ambiguous. First, you need to define "rise time". That applies to a step, not a periodic signal. Let's say you have a 0 to 5 V digital signal. The rise time is how long it take...
