I have a voltage source(35-60V range) and want to control the 12V/1.5A coil of the contactor without designing the 12V/2A buck solely for the purpose of contactor control. Moreover, 1.5A is enough for activating the relay, but I assume the holding current to be in the 300-500mA range. (more) |

| Question | — |
Contactor control - Higher voltage PWM I have a battery pack that consists of 18650 battery cells(14 cells in series max.). Hence, the voltage of the battery pack will be between 35V and 60V(to be on the safe side) I am designing a BMS in order to control it with cell monitoring, analog measurements, contactor control, etc. features bu...

Thank you, Andy! Why would I care about ESR(dielectric+true resistance) losses at all and ignore the ESL when looking at AC? Impedance is something I should be caring about. The heck with ESR if ESL will kick into play(and it will at frequencies that are below and higher than the resonance one - plus... (more) |

| Question | — |
Capacitor ESR vs. Impedance One of the ceramic capacitors that I've found(link to the capacitor) specifies the following characteristics at 10 kHz: Impedance and ESR graph The difference in value is quite significant, almost 100 fold. Which graph on the picture above better represents real-world use-case? What is the... (more) |

What might be the reason behind people recommending low-ESR caps put every 1m at the DC link cables for most of the RC stuff? I assumed it was because of the parasitic inductance with the input cables. Your analysis assumed pure ohmic cable characteristics. (more) |

"BLDC inverter" or BLDC motor controller. The unit takes DC input and converts it to a 3 phase voltage/current signal to control the torque or rpm of a motor. How to size the input capacitance of a BLDC motor controller taking input power cable length into consideration - mine calculation above doesn... (more) |

Estimating the input capacitance of an BLDC motor controller Problem Description I am trying to design a BLDC inverter and I am in doubt of what would be the right approach for estimating the input capacitor size/type. Doing it empirically or throwing everything in SPICE is one approach, but I would like to understand what is going under the hood and at lea... (more) |

Max V/Hz value for motor I want to run a specific motor in the open loop. How to calculate the maximum ratio of V/f to run it? Am I looking at Ld or Lq value for this?

Thank you Olin! By putting Q1 in common collector configuration, the role of D2 would not be needed because you could rely on opto’s diode reverse voltage. But I see why you have chosen common emitter. (more) |

If 36V is applied on the left terminal, "Vbr=36V" has no impedance to work against. A small resistor between the input and the Zener would do the job to keep it below max. power dissipation. (more) |

Isolated Digital Input - Overvoltage protection I am trying to build an active-low digital isolated switch capable of withstanding 32VDC voltage without creating any damage to the system. This is the snapshot of the circuit not fulfilling the requirement: Circuit "ISOPINPROG1" will be connected to the switch which will tie to the ground and... (more) |

I've been using 72V extensively and found that 60V was more common simply because it's in the "Low Voltage" category. It was battery-powered, though. Still, why 3.3V and not 3V? Most(every?) of the IC's accepting 3.3V could accept 3V so I assumed there is some historic reason behind the 3.3 value. (more) |

| Question | — |
Why 3.3V instead of 3V? Usual values used in doing electronics/power supplies are almost always round numbers: - 5V - 12V - 28V - 48V - 60V I understand that in some cases ICs are built to accept the voltage directly coming from the lithium-ion cell in order to simplify the power stage, therefore, havin...

So you start with setting up the stator field to one of the six possible combinations and trust that the stall torque would be lower than the one you are creating with the field? (more) |

BLDC motor - initial rotor position Sensorless BLDC motor controller are becoming more and more popular, especially with rising of the drone industry.

CAN Bus - Internal Oscillator Every time I needed CAN, I had just put external crystal and didn't think about it after that. It worked fine.

Thanks, Andy! How does this current limit of 700mA RMS apply on a secondary when potential capacitor there acts as a "short" during the first pulse? If we assume pulse not exceeding 11Vus. (more) |

@Andy Aka - Not sure I understood what you meant. I intended on using it instead of a relay so there should be no switching. Converting to push-pull and use gate transformer? In that case, I have no way to desaturate the core without using feedback. If I stay with flyback I have a lot of capacitance... (more) |

Transformer - Vsec or Current rating parameter I am looking at the datasheet of the 7508170315(link) transformer and something seems strange to me. Itable from datasheet If I connect this to a 12V supply and expose it to 10us pulse: 12V10us/475uH = 252mA which is apparently less than the 350mAAC - is it actually? What 350mAAC mean in this c...

@Olin Thanks, it’s clearer now what you meant! In the blog post you linked you claim:
