    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    Is the 1K resistor at the gate of the low side switch necessary? I've put it there to limit the current but thinking about it the MCU current is in the uA range

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    Why would you need a resistor in series if it's an input to the MCU?

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    The current is around 30mA according to the manufacturer. The voltage is not mentioned in the datasheet so I am not sure that's why I went for a low side switch to be safe.

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    I assume I can also connect directly from the MCU output pins (high imepdance by default and logic 0 to switch) to terminal 3 and 4 instead of using the low side switches?

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    That's from the datasheet of the actuator, the lamp is an example. I haven't understood your idea. Thanks for your help anyways

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    Terminal 8 is unconnected by default, it needs to be connected to the 24V line for it to switch internally. You are saying the top part of the potential divider is connected to 24V which means not terminal 8 and it does not make sense. Again, a diagram might make it clearer. I have already...

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    I wasn't really asking what a voltage divider is but how are you monitoring terminal 8 with what you explained?

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    Not sure I get it, mind drawing a diagram?

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    In this case the MCU will be pulled up to 24V when terminal 8 is disconnected

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    I was not sure what you meant by aux. it is not possible to connect terminal 7-10 directly to the to the MCU as they have different voltages (3.3 and 24v). In addition, current will be too high for the MCU input pins. I have solved this issue by using an optocoupler.

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    are you referring to Valve_Ctrl_1a and Valve_Ctrl_1b?

    How to monitor an actuator's feedback line from a microcontroller?

    the AG-020-B electric actuator is controlled from a microcontroller. Terminal 1 is connected to the DC PSU GND, Terminal 2 is connected to the +24VDC via a high side Power MOSFET(TPS22810) as shown below. This is for power saving. Low side MOSFET (AUIPS1021) Q5A and Q5B are used to control...

    compensated amplifier

    From the text book notes attached, the loop gain is given which makes sense but I don't see how I can incorporate the closed loop gain and bandwidth given using this transfer function to satisfy the requirements.

    charge amplifier frequency reponse

    isn't the gain 1/Cf? I have changed Rf and the response is still not a high pass with a cut off of 1KHz
