I agree with Olin and Mu3 answers. I'll add that you should aim not for just one kind of "high level" component, but many more basic ones. Not every EE course is the same across the world, and man...
Noise can be coupled between signal lines through parasitic capacitance formed between these signal lines, as $i = C\frac{dv}{dt}$ where C is the capacitance between the signal lines. Another wa...
I know that many JFETs parameters have a very large manufacturing spread, in particular, $I_{DSS}$ and $V_{GS(off)}$, as one can see (for example) in this datasheet excerpt: ... My question i...
I'll let someone else answer about the device physics. I'll answer from an electrical engineering standpoint. The answer is: Maybe, but it doesn't matter since you should be considering worst cas...
Many ESD problems are "latent" that is they do not sofort show up....some time later things will stop working :)
I know of a designer that didn't add ESD protection on a mass manufactured product in the field. They had to replace almost 10 thousand units, because they kept popping in certain low humidity and ...
I want to sense 3 different states in the same mcu pin (GND, Hi-Z and PWR). PWR is typical +24V but I would like to have a wide margin from +17V to +40V just to be safe. The values can change but ...
Serial communication protocols require synchronization of the clock of the connected devices. From GR the time elapsed for the satelite is different than the time elapsed for us here on the Earth....
The difference between your two options is which polarity the input floats to when left open, and whether there is an overall inversion. Adding the inversion in the firmware would require one more...
That depends on whether you are just building something for yourself, say a prototype, or if you are designing a product for mass distribution. In the later case, you are subject to probability law...
My Answer: There are only practical reasons for a representation with Ib=const. These characteristics are primarily used to determine the DC working point (Ic_o, Vce_o) - together with the working ...
I think this could be on topic if done carefully. We don't want this to devolve into a popularity contest of everyone's favorite features. Answers also can't be about opinions of which features "...
What happens to the overall accuracy of a resistor if I implement it as multiple resistors in series or parallel? For example, can I get better than 2 kΩ 5% by putting two 1 kΩ 5% resistors in ser...
The default scope in this EE community pretty much went with the same scope as the SE site. For now. These sites are new and most communities are still struggling to come up with what's off-topic ...
Eureka! thanks to the article cited in the question, I've finally understood the matter. I will describe here the general procedure for computing the network parameters of a grounded two port devi...
Baudrate is most often used to mean payload data bits/second. Simply picture a manchester encoded protocol, where each data bit corresponds to 2 physical bits in the raw data frame. If you have a b...
[In addition to the answers which have already been posted.] A current sensing circuit like this lends itself to another scheme for ESD protection, which uses only one TVS. Only the line in which...
What would be the main considerations to use Pi-filters for EMC?
I recommend using native HTML for lists, and most other formatting for that matter. HTML gets around the ambiguity of what is an item and what is text following the list. The list isn't over unti...
Hello, I am designing 1/4 WL strip antenna for a bluetooth chip and i had some questions regarding the 50 Ohm feed line. Right now I am using a Nordic-recommended 1.5mm trace width and a 23mm + 4mm...
Despite there are many filter calculators available on the web, I still have difficulties to translate what I need into calculator design parameters. For my application, I need ideally a high pass ...
A voltage source is "heavily loaded" when something is drawing a large amount of current from it. "Large" in this context is relative to what the voltage source can deliver, or perhaps relative to...
Consider this statement "A voltage source is heavily loaded",what does this mean? I mean that whether the load resistance is high or there is huge drop in source voltage at load due to internal res...
I am having a difficult time picturing the flow of current and the role of the capacitor during the OFF time of a buck converter. Here is my understanding so far. During the ON time the magnetic fi...
A switching power supply already is inherently a filter. Current is coming thru an inductor, followed by a capacitor to ground. If you are asking what additional is usually done to filter out chan...
