Comment Post #285921 @#52987 The joke is that a grown man (woman?) is throwing tantrums because you and Olin did not support his critique, immediately taking stabs at whoever he can identify. We literally just discussed the potential downfalls of public downvotes. This guy knows I have disagreed with him in the past and ...

Answer A: Why are there more N type than P type MOSFETs?
One reason could be that N type MOSFET can switch loads that are in Drain, meaning that whatever the load voltage, you can turn it on/off directly with any microcontroller, provided that the MOSFET is 5V or 3.3V logic level. You could invert it and do the same with P-Channel, but N-Channel just feels...

Comment Post #284199 @#36396 Closing questions is hardly the issue here.

Comment Post #281444 You haven't provided any reason we should care about impedance discontinuities by themselves. -> If you could provide a reason, it would be in favor of the curved one, and if you could provide a reason why it does not matter, it would then be in favor of square one, since it is easier to make/simulat...

Comment Post #281437 @Lundin If you have some valid arguments why the antenna is not properly designed please do tell. Otherwise such question can be asked literally in response to any other design question. 'Why is this done like X?' - 'Well, what makes you think X is good?'. This does not help.

Answer A: Design considerations for a synchronous DC/DC converter
At some point the MOSFET approach will lose to diode if current is sufficiently high: Image alt text The drain-source resistance will cause the forward voltage drop to go up linearly. So picking a MOSFET with a small Rds would be one idea to reduce conduction losses. Checking the gate threshold...

Question Is there a particular type of lead-free solder that does not degrade soldering tips?
I have had my soldering iron tips degrading at ridiculous rates. Granted, they are not very expensive, but sometimes it takes less than 8 hours of soldering for them to degrade to the point where they are no longer usable. I use a soft sponge for cleaning, don't leave the iron on for prolonged times ...

Question Why isn't voltage of electric chair higher?
I recall vividly a story told by my grandfather who worked with high voltage power lines.

Question Cleaning flux out of USB connectors after soldering
When soldering Micro-USB or USB-C connectors by hand, flux is applied generously. This sometimes results in flux getting inside the connector housing, making it sticky and creating high physical resistance when inserting and removing the cable. I have attempted using q-tips and small brushes with alc...
