    Why is this Inductor burning?

    On this board, that is highly unlikely, even if there is one, the caps should take care of it, right ? ---------- Post added at 20:51 ---------- Previous post was at 20:48 ---------- I checked with Mini-Circuits ( VCO is POS-150) and they said all VCOs together will not take 100mA...

    Why is this Inductor burning?

    biff44 and enjunear: Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond. If there is a short, shouldn't I be able to see it by checking between +12V and GND using a multimeter? Unfortunately, I cannot power up the board directly with a lab power supply. It is powered up through a PCI Backplane. There...

    Why is this Inductor burning?

    No trick ! On a good board, this inductor does not burn. V1 (+12V) is used by 2 VCOs ( rated 20mA max. per VCO) Do you think one or both of the VCOs could be bad and both VCOs combined could be trying to pull more than 100mA?

    Why is this Inductor burning?

    Please see the attachment. +12V comes into the board through a pin on PCI connector. When I power up the board, the plastic wrapper on the 3.3mH inductor starts melting. I replaced both capacitors and the inductor and it still happens. With another board ( which is good) inductor does not burn...

    What does terminate a signal pin with 50 ohm mean?

    Hi , What does terminate a signal pin with 50 ohm mean? Does it mean tying the pin to GND through a 50 ohm resistor? thanks for taking the time to respond.

    protection from port scanning software

    Hi , thanks for the replies, unless we specifically enable port forwarding on the router (as an example lets take a simple linksys router), aren't the ports closed for external access ? Also isn't the following true, even if the port scanning software reaches the router, to reach my pc behind...

    protection from port scanning software

    protect from port scanning router Hi All, Can someone please answer this: If my laptop has a private address and if I am behind a home router (with NAT enabled and no port forwarding), can I assume that I am completely protected from port-scanning software attacks and any other intruders...
