    IC I/O Input Resistor Calculations

    Hello All, I am a software engineer trying to do a parts stress analysis on each of the components on a design I am working on, and I am struggling with a bit of analog electronics. I have an FPGA (3V3 I/O logic levels) connected to an ADC (connected to a 3V3 supply). In series between the...

    PSU Terminology

    Hi, I have never heard of it before either. I am working on a document, and it mentions test by design and not test in "free-running" mode. Somebody mentioned a flyback with a clock connected is in "free-running" mode? Does this mean it is in free-running mode? Thanks , Jeff

    PSU Terminology

    Hi All, Just a very general PSU question about what modes a PSU runs in. Can somebody confirm what "free-Running" mode means? I understand "No Load" and "Under-Load" but i have never heard of "Free-Running"? Look forward to your replies. Jeff

    Arm RTOS C++ newbie advice

    Hi, Thanks for your inputs, I am slowly getting up to speed. So if i buy an ST development boards, either an NUCLEO-144 or a DISCOVERY board, can i run Linux free rtos on one of these boards. Is Amazon free rtos a Linux operating system that runs on an ARM chip? Could you get me an example...

    Arm RTOS C++ newbie advice

    Hi again, Thank you for all your help. I have another question, when it is mentioned must have ARM rtos linux experience. Does the linux part mean the designer is writing the code on a linux pc instead of a windows pc? What is the big benefit and attraction of writing all the code on a linux...

    Arm RTOS C++ newbie advice

    Hi, Thanks for your replies. I am currently using windows 10. What free or single user IDE do you recommend when running STM ARM and Amazon Free-RTOS. I am new to this product range so any help gladly accepted. Thanks, Rocketman46

    Arm RTOS C++ newbie advice

    Hi, I have experience of 16bit microchip micros using embedded C, and i am about to move across to ARM RTOS C++. I have narrowed my chip vendors down to NXP and ST. As i am starting from zero on ARM development, could you offer advice on which of the above vendors, is the cheapest and easiest...

    Voltage Level Shifting

    Hi, After lots of testing on the simulator, I can get an output I can use, its not optimum but it works. The only problem I can see is when the input is -5V, the + input on the opamp is in the region of -135mV. To prevent this negative voltage blowing up my opamp and micro ADC port, can i put...

    Voltage Level Shifting

    Hi, This circuit works on the simulator, my results are below. Is this circuit in the correct direction?. I tried the unity gain buffer option but i could not get to function correctly. * Vin +5V, Vout +5V * Vin +2.5V, Vout +5V * Vin 0V, Vout 2.5V * Vin -2.5V, Vout 0V * Vin -5V, Vout 0V...

    Voltage Level Shifting

    Hi betwixt, I am really struggling. Nearly all examples are DC examples for attenuation and cannot I find any negative voltage examples. Excluding the maths and values, I cannot understand how a +- 2.5V turns into a 0V to 5V. 0V and above I semi understand but i do not understand this...

    Voltage Level Shifting

    Hi, Thank for your replies. I tried to generate a circuit with the above parameters. Below are my points and circuit. I am struggling a bit as i am a bit weak on analoge. 1) Selected a dual supply rail-rail opamp TI OPA191IDBVT 2) Shifted the input voltage down by 2.5V 3) Calculated the...

    Voltage Level Shifting

    Hi all, I need a bit of advice on what opamp configuration i should use. I am using a dual supply opamp -5v and +5v and i require the output to swing between 0v to 5v, whilst the input swings between -5v to +5v. I usually work with opamps with inputs between 0v to 5v, but the +/- input has...

    Microcontroller Bus Readers

    Hi, I am looking to buy a new bus reader for decoding I2C, SPI, CAN and I/O signals. I have seen two products: 1) Saleae Pro 8 2) Digital Discovery 2 Does anybody have any feedback on these products, or would you recommend using another product? Look forward to your reply. Rocketman46.

    Latching Relay vs FlipFlop Circuit

    Hi Klaus, There is no public datasheet or information, i would happily publish but i cannot. Its a one off module used for racing engines. For designing sake just say 100mA then. I am struggling with the electronics logic as you can clearly see. Thanks, Rocketman46
