Q&A Speed of EM waves from the point of view of an electrical engineer

An important formula in physics is one that relates the speed of an EM wave (c for instance) with the magnetic permeability and electric permittivity of the medium. In short: - $$c = \dfrac{1}{\sq...

Q&A Transformer design for a Series Resonant Converter

The website that I mentioned before mentions the max flux density in ferrites at 400 kHz as being close to 0.04 T. Is this correct? No, you have misinterpreted the graph. The graph shown is fl...

Q&A CAN BUS monitoring with a LED

I've done similar things on UART lines, but for significantly lower baudrates (9600 etc) than traditionally used on most CAN buses. It's also easier to do when you have 5V guaranteed to be well-ov...

Q&A Can I make an AC inductor (reactor) rated 75mH 40A from a 3-phase induction motor?

The 70.9/40.8 A rating for L.R. is rated only for ; Locked rotor time 19s (cold) 11s (hot) I doubt this meets your requirements unless you modify from a forced air cooling motor to a pumped liqu...

Q&A CAN BUS monitoring with a LED

You'll need a differential comparator, something like what was suggested in here. But I'd look for a proper Canbus Rx and extract that to convert to single ended one shot to pulse for activity.

Q&A CAN BUS monitoring with a LED

CAN lines in the most common implementation have 60 Ω impedance between them. Anything that is substantially larger than that won't effect the lines much. I'd use 1 kΩ at least, preferably more. ...

You say the only thing that will be powered by the ±12 V supplies is a comparator. The first thing I would look at is whether you really need the comparator to run from that voltage range. Presum...

Q&A Noise from oscillator on top layer to clock on bottom layer with VCC & GND layers between

What you are proposing may be okay (depending on other specifics of the design), but your proposed 4-layer PCB stack-up looks like a compromise. Clock is a high speed signal, and so is SPI dependi...
