    where to find .optparam pseudocomponent in OrCAD Capture

    Well, that was a waste of time. I got it to work, but the Lite version only optimizes one variable at a time, for one measurement at a time, and doesn't really optimize, it just picks 5 points at random and tells you which is best? Looks like the commercial version is extremely expensive, so...

    where to find .optparam pseudocomponent in OrCAD Capture

    Ok, thanks. Newer version in C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.6_Lite\doc\pspaugca\pspaugca.pdf Yes, 16.6 Lite. Is that the same as C:\OrCAD\OrCAD_16.6_Lite\tools\pspice\tutorial\capture\pspiceaa\rfamp ? I don't have anything else named rfamp. Edit: Ah, that example from the tutorial doesn't work...

    where to find .optparam pseudocomponent in OrCAD Capture

    Did you figure this out? I'm trying to follow the tutorial but it doesn't match the software I have.

    Metal film vs metal oxide resistor?

    Not if it uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton-Perry_winding . But which is more common?

    Need the spice model of N-channel JFET 2SK596 or KSK596

    I'd like these too, or at least guidance on how to derive them from the datasheets. I found a bunch of 2SK parts, but not the 2 we're interested in: **broken link removed**

    need more help with sound trigger

    It's only 500k at the end. If it's an audio taper 500k pot it will still have a usable range.

    need more help with sound trigger

    Honestly, I don't understand this circuit. I don't know if that's because the circuit's wrong or because it's just unfamiliar to me, but if that's just a normal op-amp, it looks like you have no negative feedback at all, so the op-amp's just running at full tilt and acting like a comparator...

    need more help with sound trigger

    Why do you have to adjust the level? If a water drop triggers it, then a balloon popping will trigger it, too. You're just checking for an event, not recording the sound.

    Opamp Circuit Noise Calculation

    This looks wrong to me, too, and the current version on the site (Rev B) still has this in it. Has anyone talked to the author? The EIN for the op-amp is 1.131 µV, meaning an output noise of 100x: 113.1 µV. The thermal noise of a 100 kΩ resistor is 5.7 µV, but don't you have to multiply that...

    PC Soundcard maximum in/out ratings

    pc line input max voltage spec The C-Media USB audio chips I've seen (CM108, CM119, CM6300) actually don't block DC, which is why I'm going to use them for the same purpose. A simple, convenient way to get DC or low-freq measurements into a computer. You can figure out the maximum and...
