Voltage losses in iGBT trippler
I have a trippler circuit that is losing voltage starts with ~+900 VDC and tripples to a theoretical -2700V by switching the +900 to sequential virtual earths( caps and a diode) via the BJTs. The DC...

1G resistor
I got some samples of the Welwyn 1Gohm 2512 resistor. It's really 1G ohms: Next I measured shunt capacitance, glued down to a PCB with a layer-2 ground plane. That shunt capacitance seems crazy low,...
