Voltage to PWM
Hi all, I want to make a V to PWM circuit. (For a servoed heater.) I drew a triangle wave into a comparator, and that seems simple enough. Though it will take a few IC for the triangle wave. (I guess...

JFET mini-comparo--BFT862 not actually unique
I promised a bit of low-noise JFET comparison data. I looked at 4 BF862s from different reels, three ON Semi parts, the CPH3910, NSVM2394, and NSVJ3557, and the Fairchild MMBFJ310. I swapped them in...

Field inductance of automotive alternator rotor
I'm struggling to find a value. Some Googling suggests 200-500uH but I'm not overly confident with these values. If anyone has any feel for this, I would be grateful for some info.

Copper pours for thermal relief
Beyond component side (and heavily stitched solder side) copper pours, is there any value to adding stitched internal planes when it comes to helping to move heat away from components? And, when does...

Achieving 98% efficiency in a boost converter
Anybody care to speculate about the most important aspects to consider when trying to achieve 98% efficiency in a low-power (20mW) boost converter? Most available step-up converter circuits seem to...

OpAmp Output DeadBand
Turns out I was making things too difficult with my nice LOG(COSH(x)) "smoother" when it comes to modeling OpAmp Output DeadBand. Examination of the LOG(COSH(x)) solution puzzled me, exhibiting some...
