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...

Trouble with selecting a single wire segment of a net in Altium - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
below want select , edit bottom wire of 3 parallel wires: but when click on bottom wire program selects middle wire because share same net. is possible single out desired wire segment without selecting entire net in altium? yes you need use "break wire" feature first - split wire up. think it's in "edit" menu.

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...

UPS battery advice - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

i have apc ups 9 ah battery. would ok replace 18 ah battery? i realize modifications needed since won't fit in case. in theory shouldn't matter how bigger ah rating of battery long regulate current , voltage same. takes long transfer coulombs of charge. bigger battery of same chemistry have larger capacitance , may have lower esr.

Choosing and replace capacitors for audio amplifier - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
i have old audio amplifier (jvc a-gx2b) produces crackling noises on 1 of outputs. so, opened , discovered 2 largest capacitors seem leaking : can replace capacitor same characteristics (4700uf 50v), or should instead take specific capacitors audio? if yes, ones ? in addition, have interest replace capacitors of amp (not 2 largest)? 1: wear safety gloves when handling toxic leaky capacitors, remove , clean safely isoprop. , mark note polarity (-) 2 : measure dia , lead pitch dxl [mm] sort parts this 3: audio or better low esr, highest ripple current caps. < 50mohm, > 3aripple 4: better caps run cooler lower esr , rated higher temp. may not fit. 5: japanese caps have better reliability i suggest 1st choice panasonic @ digikey .. cost of shipping may more cost of caps. as suggested: cap voltage must same or more - capacitance tolerance doesn't matter, , may larger value. - large e-caps may replaced @ same time.

auto reset an Arduino using ftdi - DTR signal stays low and needs to go high after 1-50ms - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
hello have cheap ftdi going recreate on pcb can flash atmega2560 chip onboard, ftdi has dtr line pulled low when sequence starts stays low instead of going low high after 1ms 50ms, need find out how create simple circuit when pulled low goes high, how can this, have simple components hand. my stocked parts: 103 ceramic caps 25uf aluminium caps 220uf aluminium caps some blue ceramic caps labeled "10" practically common resistors values 5v zener diodes 5v switching diodes npn transistors n channel mosfets 5v reflecting diodes can make using ? else can what's needed. many thank edwin sorry it's atmel atmega 2560 chip on pcb have serial lines , reset,5v,ground , 2 gpios on pin out. can flash ftdi. , ftdi dtr line stay low , need pluse rest line need figure out how use low signal pull reset low high right after. if try on arduino mega or uno holding down reset not work it's pulse going low high load boot manager. hence dfti dtr...

analysis of two transistors ib,ic,ie? - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

is ib current correct went kvl through first transistor your forgetting re. you need use effective resistances r4 , r6, value \$r4_e = r4 * (1+\beta) = 40,000 * 101 = 4,040,000\omega\$ \$r6_e = r6 * (1+\beta) = 1,000 * 101 = 101,000\omega\$ using base circuit looks this. simulate circuit – schematic created using circuitlab you solve using various methods, shortcut realise that, ideal vbe, voltage @ top of both emitter resistors identical. such can treat both legs being in parallel. circuit can further simplified to.. simulate circuit now should able calculate current through circuit as.. \$i_{rb} = (2.6 - 0.6)/(2,260 + 98,540) = 19.84ua\$ that makes base voltages both.. \$v_b = 2.6 - 19.84ua * 2.26k\omega = 2.555v\$ so \$ib1 = (2.555-0.6)/4.04m\omega = 0.484ua\$.. , \$ib2 = (2.555-0.6)/101k\omega = 19.356ua\$ however: these numbers make sense if transistor not saturated. question states \$i_e \approx \beta * i_b\$ indicates ...
