Yesterday, 19:39Maybe you should tell us what we’re looking at. Maybe you should tell us what your input is. Maybe you should post a schematic.8 replies | 143 view(s)

Yesterday, 00:21I pretty much disagree with everything you said. The minimum load resistance IS NOT a function of voltage. It probably has something to do with...5 replies | 149 view(s)

16th August 2019, 17:16barry replied to a thread How to build overcurrent/overvoltage protection in Service Manuals, Requests, Repair TipsMore information is needed. Voltage? Current? Showing two blocks with lines between them tells us nothing.1 replies | 154 view(s)

16th August 2019, 17:14Those are two separate specs. There’s nothing that says you can drive 2.5 volts into 4K. It says you can have a minimum load of 4K, but your...5 replies | 149 view(s)

16th August 2019, 00:10As Brian notes, it's a pretty simple matter to just replace the pot with an analog voltage. There is nothing in the pot circuit that has anything to...11 replies | 366 view(s)

14th August 2019, 19:31barry replied to a thread Decoupling CAP using MOSFET? in Analog Integrated Circuit (IC) Design, Layout and FabricationHuh? Why on earth are you using a MOSFET for a decoupling cap????? Why not use, um, a CAP? But assuming for some bizarre reason the only...2 replies | 168 view(s)

14th August 2019, 14:45Questions for you: 1) what kind of “sounds”do you want this to make? You don’t need MP3 to make beeps. 2) How long do you want the battery to...2 replies | 133 view(s)

14th August 2019, 07:20Just telling us “they don’t work” is meaningless. Do they explode? Do they make strange noises? Give us SOMETHING. Maybe it’s your reset circuit....3 replies | 128 view(s)

13th August 2019, 20:27You mean the welder CONTROL voltage is 0-6.2? It’s still unclear what you’ve got going on here. Saying “it monitors all three connections” is...11 replies | 366 view(s)

12th August 2019, 22:06I’d use a small microprocessor and a digital pot. They do make motorized pots that can be controlled by an analog voltage, but they are big and...11 replies | 366 view(s)

8th August 2019, 16:50barry replied to a thread How to use the same RELAY on 12V & 24V vehicles in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsPWM is waaaaaaay overkill. You can accomplish the same function with a parallel resistor and cap driving the relay.10 replies | 329 view(s)

8th August 2019, 03:42barry replied to a thread How to use the same RELAY on 12V & 24V vehicles in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsSSRs don’t draw anywhere near 47mA. You make no mention of what your load current is, which will dictate the coil current. Reed relays draw about 10...10 replies | 329 view(s)

8th August 2019, 03:04barry replied to a thread How to use the same RELAY on 12V & 24V vehicles in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsWhy not use a regulator, or even a zener, to drive the relay?

7th August 2019, 16:39barry replied to a thread Estimated cost of high volume PCB assembly in Professional Hardware and Electronics DesignI think there are just too many factors to give you a "rule of thumb".

6th August 2019, 18:18barry replied to a thread This is a simple capacitor or it has a resistor inside it? in Service Manuals, Requests, Repair TipsIt says right there that it's .25uF 630V. But it shouldn't read 30 ohm. HPF is probably just a manufacturer's number. Throw it away and buy a new...3 replies | 157 view(s)

2nd August 2019, 22:42barry replied to a thread What does "great linearity" means for a ring oscillator? in Analog Circuit DesignI Sorry to disagree, but a sinusoid is a transcendental function, NOT a linear function.

2nd August 2019, 17:07barry replied to a thread What does "great linearity" means for a ring oscillator? in Analog Circuit DesignThe deviation of a sinusoidal signal from the ideal has nothing to do with linearity. A sine wave IS nonlinear! Maybe this is a language problem.8 replies | 312 view(s)

1st August 2019, 19:09barry replied to a thread What does "great linearity" means for a ring oscillator? in Analog Circuit DesignIf you're using a voltage to control the oscillating frequency then the linearity is the relationship of voltage to frequency.

29th July 2019, 14:421) No. You will NOT get 5v out of a 5V LDO WITH 5v in. ANY regulator will give 5 V out if the input goes higher than 5. That’s what regulators do. ...10 replies | 512 view(s)

29th July 2019, 06:30barry replied to a thread Is the transistor calculation is right? in Elementary Electronic QuestionsSomething else doesn’t make sense here. You’ve got a 5A, 45W load. This implies Rload=1.8 ohms. 5Ax1.8=9. You have somehow gotten 9volts out of an 8...18 replies | 757 view(s)
