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

Image
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.

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.

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 ...

Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem on non infinite signals - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

Image
can sample , recover signals non infinite "length" using nyquist shannon theorem? example if have signal $$ x(t)= u(t+5)-u(t-5) $$ , know sampling period t less 10s (t<10). can recover using nyquist theorem? if not , recover it? edit: have taken fourier transform of signal , : $$x(ω)=2i(\frac{1}{iω}+πδ(ω))sin(5ω)$$ can lead finding period $$\frac{2π}{5} $$ , see if f>= 5/π can recovered. may not possible because used theorem although on finite signal no need think "finite length". though continuous time signals defined infinite time interval, in practice analyse in finite interval only. x(t) defined in interval [-5 5]. the frequency domain representation of such signal infinite bandwidth sinc function. hence not possible define particular sample rate per nyquist theorem, reconstruct without losing information. can sample definite sample rate, implicitly band limits signal. sampled signal after reconstruction through dac , lpf, not pe...

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...

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.
