Hi Olin,
The results are in an actual circuit. V5 is -2.5V in real life as well, the actual opamp is ADA4351-2. I have dual supply on it, 2.5 and -2.5V, and the output went beyond rails when a lot of light was put into the photodiode.
The simulation was to illustrate only what I would expect th... (more) |

TIA output goes beyond rails - How does it work? I was experimenting with a transimpedance amplifier and a photodiode, the circuit was the following: Imagealttext Input current was initially calculated to be 500nA, which would produce -2V output. Current source was a photodiode combined with a laser with regulated power. Responsivity of the par... (more) |

OPA2211 datasheet discrepancy Looking at Texas Instruments opamp OPA2211it mentions GBW of 80MHz at a gain of 100, and 45MHz at gain of 1: screenshot of the 1st page of a datasheet Looking at the bandwidth graph from Figure 10 in datasheet: chart It looks like 80MHz is unity gain bandwidth, and at a gain of 100 the band...

Why did the battery blow out? I have a bed for which the headrest can be adjusted. There are 2 separate power inputs for each side like in the picture: Imagealttext In addition, there is a set of 9V batteries on each side, presumably for backup: Imagealttext Yesterday I heard a loud bang and found one battery on the f...

Connector rated voltage vs IPC-2221B and IEC 62368 Rosenberger 23C25D-40ML5 specifies 500V RMS rating: Imagealttext Imagealttext Looking at the recommended landing pattern you can see that the distance between the signal landing pad and housing of the connector is 0.3025mm. IPC-2221B specifies minimum conductor spacing of 0.8mm for externa... (more) |

I need to use these for high DC voltage bias in a very restricted space that also has to have noise immunity. Purely by regulation, if the connector is UL listed, is it allowed to use it out of specs if we verify that functionally it is a non-issue, or does that no longer comply with UL? (more) |

Hi Lundin, thanks for the thought. I think some connectors do specify VRMS, for example MMCX series from TE. Also RF connectors, 170VRMS @sea level. (more) |

Missing voltage rating I am looking at this RF connector. I see that insulation resistance and breakdown voltage are specified, but no voltage rating: Imagealttext I have two questions, one functional and one safety. Functionally, what is the maximum DC voltage I can bias this connector at (There is no voltage ratin... (more) |

ESD Table Earth Bonding Points - Why? We have ESD tables in the laboratory with Earth Bonding Points: Imagealttext These are directly connected to PE (I measured).

Hi Andy,
It was my understanding that if your source and line are matched and only the end of the line is terminated incorrectly, you get a single reflection that is dissipated in the source impedance. Only if both ends of the line are mismatched there are multiple reflections that die down after ... (more) |

Understanding inductive ringing For my own understanding I tried modelling switching off an inductive load without a freewheeling diode to observe ringing. This is the model I used: Imagealttext 1.)

Fair enough, it would be interesting to know what the gradient looks like for such case. I suspect that standing near 750kV you would need to place your feet incredibly precise to not create a large enough voltage to kill you between your feet. Maybe the circuit was broken in less than a 1/4 phase an... (more) |

I believe the only circuit I have seen where LED had no series resistance added was with a flat cell battery, which in itself has a high output impedance, and therefore the LED gets to live another day. (more) |

Additionally, disassembling will void any kind of warranty. I mean, the cables are cut now, so warranty is off the table anyway. Personally I would guess it is a defective unit, I would buy exactly the same unit, hook it up to a PC the way it is intended to be used, observe if the ''spark'' is presen... (more) |

I have to say something about the 'ordinary' board part. I took a guess at what the MCU he uses might be: K64P142M120SF5 for example. Port rise time can be 4ns. The majority of energy content is in frequencies up to 0.5x t_rise, therefore the frequency of concern is from the clock of 120MHz up to 500... (more) |

A: Ground pour on outer layers on 4-layer PCB You have mentioned a few points yourself, so I will try to comment on those points and perhaps suggest some reasons to add or not to add a ground plane. You mentioned twisting (I suppose warping) of the board. I believe there is a chance this happens if the board is not symmetrical copper wise, so... (more) |

Thanks for the answer!
I am not taking a class, I am mostly busy with PCB design, but in the process I quite often find that I have a 'Why am I doing this in this particular way?'. So for example, application notes often specify to use 10uF in parallel with 1uF and to finish off 100nF. But when I ... (more) |

| Question | — |
How to convert dv/dt of noise into frequency for filter capacitor selection? Noise can be coupled between signal lines through parasitic capacitance formed between these signal lines, as $i = C\frac{dv}{dt}$ where C is the capacitance between the signal lines. Another way of noise coupling into signal lines is through inductive coupling, where changing magnetic fi... (more) |
