    Why reactive power is not considered for calculation of efficiency of SMPS?

    iIt’s a good question. Although reactive energy is just stored energy even though it took real energy to store it. But efficiency is averaged over time that neglects start surges and energy stored is discounted over time in both primary and secondary.

    How to design decade up down counter ?

    All counters need memory of 1 FF per bit of binary resolution. Detecting 0 and 9 is essential to roll-over (0000 and 1001) to the next state for decimal. To start your design consider all the inputs and outputs you need which may be less than the 74LS568 made to permit cascading larger decimal...

    SAR using PSoC 5LP

    My thoughts are ; The output is the input minus the reference and is in 2s compliment. Thus differential inputs are +/- Vref or single-ended = 0 to 2*Vref. Also to check for non-linearity and Vref - gnd noise, generate a triangle ramp or sine sweep to the ADC and send to DAC and compare analog...

    Gain vs SNR

    Yes. To process a signal, we need to amplify, filter, demodulate then perhaps decode. There will be offsets, nonlinear effects or adjacent channel interference of these latter stages that add error to low signal levels. We must amplify to minimize these effects below the noise floor or achieve...

    MOSFET load switch circuit overheating

    Very low RdsOn FETs are also high Capacitance, which is the nature of PN junction switches and diodes. This means you must drive them with relatively low impedance approaching if not equal to the gate series resistance, Rg. If you imagine the semiconductor becoming an excellent conductor...

    Novice description of RF vs Electrical waves

    You wrote 1.6MHz modulated 3.2MHz which later missed a decimal point as 16 MHz which is possible. But none of this is scientific. What does make sense is to use fast risetime currents which are the same as the slopes of RF sine waves and then pulsed at some rate that is detectable by the...

    Novice description of RF vs Electrical waves

    In the report it clearly states that the original Rife machine was rich in spurious harmonics which support my experience that the precise carrier frequency is unimportant and broadband harmonics or higher frequency operation is acceptable and better than sinusoidal 3 MHz. "The building of this...

    Novice description of RF vs Electrical waves

    The frequency can be a low-energy inert gas tube wand pulsed LC resonant circuit that tingles from the modulation. Some believe in certain patterns of pulsing. The carrier frequency in this MHz range is irrelevant but preferably an AM channel for public use or does not exceed local guidelines...

    LLC resonant converter

    It would seem to be an AC inverter expecting a square output limited by risetime and the question is why. What do RC and L/DCR equal?

    Dear Experts, I need help for reading IC part number please

    If you decide to modify the PA, consider this. https://cdn.macom.com/applicationnotes/AN_Mounting%20Approaches%20for%20RF%20Products%20Using%20the%20780019.pdf 1716916722 This could be it. Do you need a supplier?

    Anomalous behavior of RF power amplifier made using Cree

    How many nH/mm and fF/mm did you assume for parasitics, crosstalk and mutual coupling? If you don't know then you might want to rethink your layout and examine commercial LNAs and see how to control SNR, impedances and specify L, C for coupling biasing. BTW This example is already obsolete...

    LLC resonant converter

    It seems you are asking about the risetime output of 50 Hz without any schematic, layout or design assumptions on how 100 kHz is used. Also please explain why you are exceeding the device BW spec. Your query ought to contain all the data to analyze properly. Ref
