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...
My answer from another place: - It's best to use a 4 layer board looking at the tracks you have on your ground-plane side. But, if you are really insistent on using only two layers (why?) then do...
The problem with refreshing the watchdog from an ISR is that in case the main program hangs for whatever the reason, the ISR will keep living and could keep the watchdog alive, effectively blocking...
Feeding the watchdog from an interrupt service routine is indeed a bad idea, usually. It depends on what you are really trying to protect against. The purpose of a hardware watchdog is usually to...
Partial answer awaiting more specs Your question can't really be answered until we know how accurate the resulting solenoid drive levels need to be relative to the 0-10 V input signals, and how fa...
Yes, we should add how to use MathJax to the help for this site. Unfortunately, there are several things that work against getting this done: The Codidact help system sucks! When we first starte...
I need to make a circuit board that has the following inputs and outputs: Inputs and outputs Inputs: $V_{\text{in1}}$ (0-10VDC) PLC controlled signal $V_{\text{in2}}$ (0-10VDC) PLC controll...
From what I understand, PCB manufacturing has a limitation on the minimum width of the solder resist—it cannot be too thin, typically not less than 5 mil. In many components, including those with a...
The first thing I noticed is that all your circuits use separate resistors to convert the current of each side to a voltage. That will cause a differential mode error signal to the extent the resi...
When the switch is ON the transceiver will be active No, it's the other way around. First, you should be able to see the bar over SHDN in the datasheet. That means negative logic, where low is a...
I am reading through a multi-channel power supply manual and at some point it discusses the ability to chain channels in parallel to increase current output. In the schematic, there is one resisto...
Read the datasheet and do the math. On page 3 of the datasheet we find that the guaranteed high and low threshold voltages for the PS/SYNC input are 1.4 and 0.4 V, and its maximum input current is...
I am using TPS63000 in my design and I need to control PS/SYNC pin using a micro-controller. **The input to the buck boost converter is 3V to 4.3V which is coming from a battery. The microcontrol...
The 1st page of a datasheet is written by marketing. It can still give you an idea of what the chip is about, but it often contains the performance data under the best conditions. The conditions ...
I see that Nick has already provided a good answer to R5, so I'll only address this: Furthermore, an amplifier symbol called "gm" is labeled as transconductor. What does it do? What you show is a...
As a personal project, I have designed a synchronous FIFO in Verilog HDL. But while testing with a testbench, I observed that the FIFO values are flushed out after one clock cycle when read-enable ...
is it possible that moving around laptop antennas does not change the specifications drastically, because, for example, the antennas are low-power The radiated power is probably not low compared t...
When posting identification or general questions related to connectors, integrated circuits or other parts with pins/legs, engineers always speak about something called pitch. What is the meaning ...
200 HP is 147.1 kW. At 480 V, it takes 306 A to transfer that much power. You didn't say, but your 480 V power feed is probably three-phase, and the motor is three-phase too. I don't remember ho...
is there a technical reason that prohibits such cable from working? Two reasons: Signal integrity Data integrity Signal integrity is reason #1. Basically, cables are not "transparent"...
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...
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...
It is interesting to see how they deposited these carbon electrodes over solder mask and copper traces both under the button foil switches and membrane switches alike which offer more tactile feel....
Is there a scientific way to estimate the resistance of a pogo pin? If it was a solid cylinder or wire one could calculate the resistance: R = ρ × L / A But a pogo pin is hollow inside, the sp...
Another solution which uses an ADC to read the three-state pin on the battery charger IC. The original question mentions GPIO, and doesn’t mention ADC. Maybe this will be useful for some other de...
