    SMA connector regarding PCB design & layout

    I've been using this 90 degree SMA connector for some of my designs. Its got the same pin spacing/pitch as a vertical one. Look for adafruit eagle library and you'll find it.

    Power Management Gboard 800 + MCP73871

    Bump.... I've managed to chop the extra volts by adding a Schottky diode (STPS10L25D) with a forward drop voltage of 350mV. Now my specs are within the right range. So if I now supply my battery management system 4.5VDC, delivered output is 4.15VDC or thereabouts which should be good for the...

    Power Management Gboard 800 + MCP73871

    Hi Guys, A quick problem. Trying to work out an optimum solution here. Problem statement initially was: Designing a mini back-up system for my Itead Gboard 800. Where the board should be powered from a 12VDC adaptor and on a power failure a battery should be able to supply the power. My...

    Testing/Diagnosis Transformers

    Its sorted now. The MBR20100CTKPbF, Schottky rectifier was playing around and eventually blew up. Replaced it and now in mint condition.

    Testing/Diagnosis Transformers

    Hi Fellaws, Thought of polishing my skills in diagnosing a charging circuit by working with power electronics. I've got this nice little charging circuit with a good old step-up copper winding transformer. Recently something went wrong and the fuse keeps on blowing up on the charging circuitry...

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    I've got the tools, was just looking for a nicely laid out schematic before I start blowing things up. :)

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    I do understand the vagueness of my description, sorry about that. Just a quick question. You've seen the spec that I've shared above as well as the characteristic profile. What can you think of all this? What is the system doing? To me its a solenoid with a valve getting turned on and off...

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    Cheers! Got it. Things are clearer and started making sense. Now coming back to the original query how to power/replicate these profile characteristics? What would be the best or atleast the closest method to test it? I've got the Func. Gen mentioned in the very beginning got a capable enough...

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    Thanks a lot Gorgon, can you help me understand this bit How did you work out the timings? Sorry worked it out makes sense now. Now how would it work with this profile? Its not 100% duty cycle and both timings don't add up to 100% Is it suggesting that there is Pull-In for 50% Hold for 17%...

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    Cheers for the reply Frank. Just had this knowledge cringe, my knowledge is solely based on application and a bit of O'level stuff. For control circuitry I'm fine as electronics is my major. Now this cringe is about me mixing duty cycles. Can anyone here be able to help me get a better...

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    Hello fellow helpers, After looking up some PWM configurations I got something that might do the job any comments? My understanding of the operation of the solenoid is, do correct me if I'm wrong, that when you initially apply a higher voltage i.e +24V, in my case, and drop it down to...

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    Exactly what I had in my mind..didn't know how to hook all of them up. Thanks! Any suggested power transistor that I should use?

    Powering Solenoid using PWM from Func. Gen

    Right to cut the chase short I'm trying to validate a solenoid which works with a pre-programmed ECU/MCU. I'm trying to replicate the same conditions to understand the characteristics i.e. currents and temperature. I was under an impression that If I'm able to generate that wave form with the...
