    Designing Electronics for an RMS Voltmeter

    Hello, I recently had my midterm and my professor asked the following question: Design the electronics for an RMS voltmeter that uses a microcontroller. The voltmeter must be able to function as a standalone system or as a module of another system. Apparently, this is a very common interview...

    Modulation Baseband Signals

    Hello for the I/Q modulator, Once an RF signal is obtained from the direct upconversion. Are the upper and lower sidebands equivalent to quadrature and inphase respectively?

    Accelerometer Questions

    Hello, I know the 'g' means the magnitude of acceleration. However, when do I use 2g, 4g, 8g, or 16g? Also what do the units mg/LSB mean? How does the conversion work? I apologize if this is a stupid question. I can't seem to find a good explanation anywhere. Thanks.

    What are some alternatives to Lithium-Ion batteries?

    Hello, What are some alternatives to Lithium-ion batteries? I'm using a Lithium-ion battery to power a device. However, I don't want to deal with issues of possible explosions. How can I navigate that? or better yet, what are some alternative batteries? Voltage range is about 3.3Volts - 5Volts...

    Digital Control & Analog Control for DC-DC converter

    Hello, I'm having a hard time getting a quality description about the differences between analog control and digital control for DC-DC converters. I know the Digital control is now the new way to go as far as control and its ease of implementation with microcontrollers. Can someone please give...

    Efficiencies of a DC-DC converter - comparing two feedback systems.

    Hello, I implemented a buck converter via two feedback control; a pid controller and another one that i wrote. I am trying to figure out how to compare the two controllers? how do i go about calculating efficiencies of both feedback control systems? as well as any other thing that needs to be...

    PID Tuning Parameters for a boost converter.

    I'm trying to implement a boost converter like the one found here: Boost Converter Intro with Arduino « ReiBot.org. a PID controller is used for the control. I don't know how the tuning parameters can be obtained. I've read various documentations but none of them seem to provide information as...

    Is 7 Mhz switching frequency too high for a boost? - Please Please Help.

    thanks. I've read a lot about boost converters in the last few days but none of the papers ever said how to choose the switching frequency. Do i just make an educated guess? I thought Toff was that of the mosfet; hence my reason for using 55ns which then made the frequency really high. Also...

    Is 7 Mhz switching frequency too high for a boost? - Please Please Help.

    Hello, I'm trying to make a boost converter that will have a digital pwm control feedback that will be implemented with microcontroller. However, before I get started, I'm having a hard time figuring out the switching frequency. My main requirements are Vin = 12 V; Vout = 30Volts. In order to...

    [MOVED]Pulse Frequency Modulation

    Hi, I'm looking to implement a dc-dc converter using a PFM control technique. However, I can't find much literature on this. Can anyone kindly provide a few good explanations. I'm trying to implement this via C language so I need as much information as possible. Thanks in advance.

    Controller Alternatives

    Hello, I know that the PID feedback controller has been done via arduino. I'm not that well knowledgeable in controls and I am wondering if there are other good alternatives to the PID controller. I want to see if I can program those too. thanks in advance for your help.
