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...

How DC offset affects the spectrum of a single pulse - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

i know in magnitude spectrum of single square dc pulse (0-8v) lobes 0 @ frequencies $$\frac{1}{t},\frac{2}{t},\frac{3}{t},...etc. $$ t=pulse duration. if square pulse goes -2v 6v, formula 0 points of spectrum still same, ie. $$\frac{n}{t}$$ n=1,2,3... etc. , t=pulse duration? what difference? applying offset signal change spectrum @ dc (frequency of 0hz). if single square pulse goes 0v 8v, value of dc \$\mathcal{f}\{ f(t)\}|_{\omega=0}=0\$. if square wave goes -2v 6v, \$\mathcal{f}\{f(t)\}|_{\omega=0}=-2\cdot\delta(0)\$.

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 ...

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?

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...
