    Solenoid - Short to Battery and Normal Operation?

    Exactly... That's where I get the doubt. The low ohm resistor is going to behave in the same way when there's a short, as well as in the normal solenoid case. I would like to know if there's any difference in voltage behavior in the low ohm resistor Thanks, Pawan

    Solenoid - Short to Battery and Normal Operation?

    Hi Mitra, There's a voltage source with a current limit resistor to the left. This, in case SHORT, allows 6mA to flow through.. but, in case of A, I am unable to predict the o/p. Please give a second look at it. Thanks, Pawan

    Solenoid - Short to Battery and Normal Operation?

    Hi Mitra, Thanks for the reply. guess I am getting clearer.... can you please tell what the voltage at A would be when the attached circuit? The answer would make my idea clear. Thank you, Pawan

    Solenoid - Short to Battery and Normal Operation?

    Hi BradtheRad, Thanks for the reply. I wish to know how Solenoid controller IC's detect this. Not necessarily due to a defective solenoid, Accidentally, if a wire comes in parallel to the load(solenoid), the IC senses this and turns the circuit off. I would like to know how this happens. Let...

    Solenoid - Short to Battery and Normal Operation?

    Hey Friends, I am not clear with this, correct me if i am wrong: A solenoid is just a copper wire with a lot of turns. So, after a few milli seconds, the solenoid almost acts like a wire. If this assumption is true, how do we detect/distinguish between a Short to Battery and a Normal...

    Why are there 4 different modes in SPI?

    Hi Friends, I couldn't give a valid reason to someone who had asked me this. Why can't SPI be standardized to one CPOL and CPHA? having 4 different modes creates more chaos. Is there any logical reason for which these four modes exist. Compared to SPI, other protocols like I2C, UART or CAN...

    LED in place of Segmented LCD :- Your inputs?

    Hi Friends, I have a Segmented LCD with 8 digits and am wanting to interface it with an MSP430 eval. board. On opening it up, I was left with a glass pane terminating as a connector. So, There is no scope for soldering. I ended up in thinking for alternatives. That's when I got a series of...

    need Proteus model for Segmented LCD

    Hi MrCarlos, I understand.. Thanks again. Pawan

    need Proteus model for Segmented LCD

    Hi MrCarlos, Thanks for the reply. Segmented LCD's unlike 7 Segment Display requires AC to drive each digit. Continuous/DC between any COM and SEG pin would ionize and destroy the LCD. few variants like MSP430F413 have a built in LCD driver, which takes care of providing the AC drive...

    need Proteus model for Segmented LCD

    Hi MrCarlos, I did find the library in proteus 7. It's a simulation model of Varitronix V402. Unfortunately, The MSP-430 models included do not have LCD module. This is just for an update. Thanks, Pawan.

    need Proteus model for Segmented LCD

    Hi MrCarlos, Of course, I will need a real hardware. Just wanted a simulation model so that it wouldn't be affected from my silly errors (like applying DC across seg and com.) I could see the pdf. seems like a proteus model you've created. If yes, thank you. I will get back to you after...

    need Proteus model for Segmented LCD

    Hi, I need the proteus model for any segmented LCD (1,2,4 or 8 digit(s)). I would like to interface it with the built in LCD driver module of MSP430. This is a hobby project to fiddle an old product. I did some google search but I find only alphanumeric display/7 segment simulation related...

    How does a Sigma Delta ADC work?

    Excellent! Thanks for the help friends. I had come across the TI's link you had shared KlausST. And you were right, I had an assumption that the comparator's the first stage of the ADC. The Maxim article link shared by crutschow and the AD simulation link shared by schmitt trigger are superb...
