Q&A Filtering the high frequency noise in switching PSU

It is well known that it is difficult to filter the noise generated by switching power supplies, and this difficulty increases as the PSU is supposed to deliver large currents. For example, in a us...

Q&A How come the registers in a micro are application specific?

While the terminology is similar to that of microcontrollers, and of CPUs in general, the "register" term here is specific to energy meters. Essentially, this board is a very basic version of a sma...

Q&A How come the registers in a micro are application specific?

They aren't specific to the project, but to the MCU. As long as you use the same MCU for multiple projects, they will be code compatible. Some hardware peripherals are even code compatible between ...

Q&A MAX809's Irregularity Depending on Load

I have a MAX809 with RESET pin connected to the gate of IRLML6344. I will rephrase my question. At 5 V, RESET is also 5 V and the LED lights up. But if I add the fan, RESET drops to 0 V and draws 1...
