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...

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.

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...

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 ...

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...

how to determine the current capability of a transformer - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

hello have transformer ebay north court 50 amplifier. there not information online. has 400 0 400 volt ht think ran pair of kt66 valves gz34 rectifier dimensions l x b x h 4" 3" 4" if can me out on 1 great the main determiner of transformer power rating material , cross-sectional area of core. sets power level @ core saturate, , manufacturers don't want use more steel absolutely have to. as rough estimate, since these transformers use same kind of steel laminations , same relative geometry, sufficient make judgement based on volume/mass of core. since core majority of total mass of transformer (the windings tiny fraction), weighing enough, why marko made comment.

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...
