Today, 08:13BradtheRad replied to a thread Does Solid State Marx Generators actually work? in Analog Circuit DesignBy trying a while longer I managed to make a workable simulation (in theory). Although this thread has the name Marx generator, the topology...79 replies | 2615 view(s) -
Yesterday, 17:04BradtheRad replied to a thread MOSFET Speed and power tradeoff in Analog Integrated Circuit (IC) Design, Layout and FabricationYour equations were set off by a 'tex' html tag. Apparently the system didn't know how to interpret this, so it defaulted to a logo from our image...5 replies | 251 view(s)

13th July 2019, 04:27BradtheRad replied to a thread Does it exist an AC to AC converter in small package for converting 220v to 110v? in Power ElectronicsI've seen advice telling to derate (reduce) power to an inductive load rated for 60 Hz, when you run it at 50 Hz. The reason is because an inductor...24 replies | 699 view(s)
