From what I know, in order for a BJT to operate:
The emitter-base should be forward biased (current mirror's Q1 Emitter-Base is forward biased, so its okay) and the collector-base region should be reverse biased (current mirror's Q1 collector-base is not reverse biased but it is short...
I have seen simple Current Mirror ckt., and I noticed that C-B is short-circuited by a wire. How come that there is current flowing through C-B even if it is short-circuited? I am really confused on how current mirror works.
I don't have oscilloscope at home, is simulation just ok? I need to download one if necessary.
@Betwixt and keith1200rs > By the way do you think that the '1/4' in the image means 'instruction frequency' or there is really an internal circuit that divides the crystal oscillator frequency (i.e...
Does PIC uses pipelining? If it does, then even if an instruction needs 4 clock cycle for execution the effective clock cycle for each instruction is 1.
I'll elaborate more on what I mean/think: If PIC uses pipelining, the first instruction would need 4 clock cycle to be executed. However...
This image from Chapter 1: World of Microcontrollers - Book: PIC Microcontrollers - Programming in C confuses me. Why the crystal frequency (20MHz) is divided by 4? Shouldn't the crystal frequency (20MHz) be directly applied to the processor?
If I am connecting a 20MHz crystal between the pins OSC1 and OSC2 of PIC12/PIC18, which is correct?
a.) Instruction cycle = 20MHz/4 = 5.0MHz (0.2us)
b.) Instruction cycle = 20MHz/8 = 2.5MHz (0.4us)
c.) None of the above. (why)
IC's on toys as far as I know are nonreprogrammable, so theres no way you can alter its data (digitized voice) but you can make your own chip and proram it and replace the IC of your toy as suggested by goldsmith. By the way, does anyone knows what is the type of IC packaging used in low-end...
Then, how will connecting this floating input to circuit ground(for low input) can solve this noise problem? Noise will be still present even if i connect it to circuit ground isn't it?
Instead of saying R3 is connected to Pin4, you should think of it this way:
-R3 is connected to +9v supply through switch S1
-Pin4 is also connected to +9v supply through switch S1
-Pin8 is also connected to +9v supply through switch S1
-R1 is also connected to +9v supply through switch S1
