    how to calculate Pull down resistor for 8051

    I don’t think you work with the “old” 8051, instead your derivative is more likely to be AT89S52, or something similar. They don’t have internal pull-up resistors, as resistors take up a lot of area in CMOS. What you can find there will be a small current source made out of MOSFET(s) and limited...

    can a capacitor(s) crank a car?

    You can buy 150F @ 14V capacitor (build of 6 x 900F cells). Theoretically it should work, but I’d really like to see them in action .. :wink: IanP

    89s51 interfacing with induction cooker coil

    Most of these circuits with IGBTs (or power MOSFETs) operate on the principle of PWM. Somewhere in the circuit there is a comparator working as a ramp generator, and somewhere in the circuit there is a comparator generating PWM for IGBTs. This comparator needs a dc voltage reference. And that is...

    I get only junk characters on the hyper-terminal.

    Re: 433 MHz ASK RF Tx Rx using 8051 UART Yeah, you have to invert data at both ends. Slow down the transmission to well below rated 4800bps. I'd go as low as 300bps, and then make sure you use at least a 2-byte sequence, don't relay on transmitting only one byte .. :wink: IanP

    Is this radio module enough for a remote relay?

    This radio-module has several GPIOs, so use one of them to drive a transistor and then a relay. The Rx and Tx pins are designed to trasnmit serial data .. :wink: IanP

    Voltage Buffer/ Follower without opamp?

    A follower(or a buffer) by definition has to have very low output impedance, as it has to drive any load. If for any reason you need to increase the output impedance, just add a resistor of a desired value, but I’m afraid it will be the end of calling this thing a follower .. :wink: IanP

    Design input 3.7V lithium battery , output 3.3Vdc, 100mA

    There is a range of 3.3 100mA (300mV)LDO regulators. Have a look at this example: https://www.linear.com/product/LT1761 :wink: IanP

    Quenstion about resistor around transistor(HELP)

    Before addressing your Qs lets make some obvious statements: in this application the transistor works as a switch ie. it replaces mechanical On-Off device. So it works in completely non-linear situation: voltage of 0.7V applied to B(ase) – switch-ON, voltage below 0.7V – switch-OFF. In...

    how to use bd137 transistor

    Transistors are used for switching DC. For switching AC you should use a triac or a thyristor (SCR) … :wink: IanP

    Serial programming the DS89C450

    420 is not identical to 450. the software was right - you have to use the exact part number. :wink: IanP

    Solar Circuit Help Please

    The correct operation of this circuit relays on propers selection of solar panel, battery and LED. And it works like this: When there is no voltage generated by the solar panel, or the voltage across the panel is U[battery]-0.7V, the Base voltage of the PNP transistor will be 0.7V below the...

    LM338 15A Power Supply Circuit - HELP please

    Resistors are characterized by their resistance and max power. That is enough to calculate max current and max voltage drop (in case you need to know it for something). You can apply voltage-current formula, V*I, and then replace V[voltage] by R*I, and that leaves you with I*I*R - back to square...

    taking too much current or voltage during start up any electronic device

    You can call this effect – inrush current. In all electronic devices you can find bigger or smaller storage capacitors that, as the name indicates, have to be charged first and that occurs when the power is switched on. Once caps are charged the device’s current consumption drops to its average...

    Help with instumentation amplifier

    For a quick test, I’d connect output with the (-) input for a gain (1) amplifier, and try it that way –from -9 to +9 with a potentiometer .. :wink: IanP

    15 VDC 1000mA to 12VDC 160mA converter

    All what you need for the fan is to drop 3V, from 15V to 12V, assuming the 15V source is stable enough. If so, why not to use 4 standard 1N400X diodes connected in series, and as each of diodes drops around 0.7V and can conduct current up to 1A, you will have a voltage drop of 4x0.7V=2.8V and...
