microcontroller - Why is the Voltage only 1.4 for reset input when in high impedance? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i attempted make myself 2-in-1 programmer can program both at89cx051 , at89s52 on same board without having plugging/unplugging of port. the main issue strobe pin aka reset (rst in circuit). (pin 1 of db25 connector). tested pc , got no results. what seems work if connected rst vcc via 1k resistor. works because though output @ 3.8v instead of 5 (which vcc at), puts at89s52 in reset mode expected, i'm not getting 12v @ pin 1 of small at89cx051 socket. if don't make manual connection, 1.4v measured @ rst, after added 10k resistor between vcc , rst. without rst being forced ground, should 5v i'm not. i have tested transistors manually leg leg using diode setting on multimeter , turned out fine. resistors going base of transistors 2.2k , used 1k resistors in place of diodes. other resistors 10k. resistor going buffer (74hc125) 0 ohm. all capacitors 0.1uf. why getting such awkward voltages reset pin? using weak of resistors or something? update so ended ma...

gain bandwidth product - Understanding of Dominant Pole Compensation - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
according miller effect, within amplifying devices such transistors have inverting voltage gain higher one, there should increased input capacitance increased voltage gain of amplifier. i has been said effect limiting amplifier @ higher frequencies. comes incorporation of method of increasing transistor's bandwidth. 1 of them dominant pole compensation. according wikipedia: "when capacitor introduced between input , output sides of amplifier intention of moving pole lowest in frequency (usually input pole) lower frequencies, pole splitting causes pole next in frequency (usually output pole) move higher frequency." i part when states 2nd pole should moved higher in frequency (that 2nd roll-off), why heck want decrease 1st pole , consequently first gain roll-off begins @ lower frequencies before. what point of it? i mean, shouldn't desired gain vs. frequency curve flat possible, long possible - higher frequencies? addition of capacitor betwee...

amplifier - Problems in push-pull biasing - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i'm trying make push-pull audio amplifier pair of power darlingtons (tip142 , tip147), i'm having problems biasing. here's diagram of 1 of configurations: here i'm using 3 diodes, used different things in place try correct biasing voltage. with biasing voltage lower 2.2 v (between bases of transistors) has crossover distortion, because there'll small parts of signal none conducting. with 2.2 v or more, both conducting , there's no more distortion, there's problem: current flowing between them escalates heat until take on fire (being starting current isn't great , they're on large heatsink, heatsink doesn't have time heat, fast happens). they're stable biasing voltages lower 2.1 v, there's distortion. the components heating here output transistors, i've cheked , none of resistors or diodes heating up. i've checked if negative feedback help, didn't, because voltage in output doesn't change current flowing t...

Is there any standard size in Custom PCB Manufacturing? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i have no experience of dealing pcb manufacturers except time once used pcbway's service. know if there standard pcb board sizes 1 needs create when getting custom pcb made? my basic idea not incur cost loss of material pcb manufacturer faces. example, let's use board of 10*10 inch manufacture , submit custom board request dimension of 7*7 inch, increase cost of pcb? sometimes pcb makers have per-panel price. tell size using..or more importantly, area have work with-- usable area (not panel size) @ least 10" x 16", maybe 10.5" x 16.5" or bit more. small panel. large production believe larger panels more typical. typically phenolic single sided boards use larger panel sizes. this reference lists typical standard pcb panel sizes follows: panel borders (maybe 0.5" on each side) take away area. it not particularly important unless pcbs (or self-panelized pcbs) getting size few panel- materials not biggest part of pcb cost in prototype...

Arduino tonecontrol circuit - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

hi can make tone control circuit on arduino using lm386 , if not other ic used please me out? tone control circuit in audio system variable filter. it's used boost frequencies, attenuate other frequencies , let others is. purposes of such filtering: creative sound modifying (=adjustments subjectively result) compensating uneven frequency response of equipment , room, based on mesurements today high quality complex filtering possible in digital domain. signals ad-converted , filtering made calculations. arduino unfortunately slow , has low resolution ad conversion serious real time digital audio signal processing. if search "dsp arduino", audio examples @ best music or other sounds played through old-fashioned analog long distance phone line. thus arduino digital audio signal processor isn't serious option - except if have signal stored digital data , allow @ 10...100 times longer processing time duration of signal. in case use pc , excel or matla...

op amp - Replacement for 747 opamp (dual 741) - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

i'm trying find "same or better" equivalent replacement 747 opamp. footprint / pinout can different, don't mind. using parametric search on arrow, while reading datasheet 747 found lt1355 might replacement. however, quite expensive; $16.89 1 single ic (dip package). searching lt1355 on octopart shows arrow cheapest one, price steep me. i'm fine around $8/pc. what other dual opamps can serve replacement 747? usually asking products/parts off-topic since can benefit wants better 741, i'm making exception. there literally hundreds of suitable 741 replacement opamps. the parts list waaaay expensive. have special properties few designs need. you should not looking 741 replacement per sé more "generic opamp". there usable opamps had less money. lm358, 10 1 euro (shipping included!) on ebay other examples: mcp602, ca3140, tlc271 most of these have versions 1, 2 or 4 opamps in 1 housing. you have compare datasheets see suits ...

Boost converter efficiency, TPS61021A - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i using tps61021 boost converter ic increase input voltage 1.2v 3.3v. have designed boost converter application called ti webench. input voltage: 1.2v output voltage: 3.3v min current: 300ma the pcb have designed, measuring 3.3v, efficiency pathetic. below 25%. in bom, ti webench software recommends using 10uf 10v capacitor, using 10uf 6.3v. not able understand why efficiency low? datasheet inductor . below in tabular format have written current values have measured multimeter. fig.1 measurement of current @ different load resistance. fig.2 ti webench application output fig.3 schematic design of boost converter pin = 1.2v × 570ma = 684 mw pout = 3.3v × 105 ma = 346.5 mw efficiency = pout/pin = 346.5/684 = 50.7% how on earth did come 18.42%? similarly, 64% , 70% other 2 loads. these numbers sound pretty me @ these voltages. did webench give efficiency estimates specific configuration?
