LM317 compensation

As I recall, from the time when I was actually checking transient response and output noise of commercial linear prototypes, the kudos for getting a 10n cap to do the job that a 10uF part was illustrated to do (or not to do) in the literature, wasn't worth mentioning.

If it was, it was as the prelude to the inevitable 'Why not just leave it out? Nobody's going to do that anyways.'

Tantalum caps were not even a consideration.....but the product still worked over the temperature range.

With the harnessing involved, critical decoupling was always at the load, so my measurements on the output terminals were just 'nice to know' ~ required for a test spec or sales blurb.

Power supplys were, and are still, just not sexy.

It turns out

and

are actually the same site, but they give slightly different results. The bottom link seems to find a few more broken links.

JL has some problems also, but these are mainly missing image links.

Actually, there's some positive feedback going on here. If google puts you at the bottom of the search results, then few people will visit your site.

If few people visit your site, then google will put you at the bottom of the search results.

So you get clobbered both ways.

LOL. You guys are insane. Best laugh I've had all week.

Thanks

Your progress is amazing. Using

It found 598/598 URLs checked, 460 OK, 138 failed early this morning.

Just now, it found 416/416 URLs checked, 399 OK, 17 failed. Big change.

I found a ton using WinHTtrack, but it would take some time to get another report and compare the results.

Some of the pages are nice. You are to be congratulated on your amazing accomplishments. I don't think I've seen another website like yours.

That's the best way I find. But I steer clear of the latest overblown CSS- heavy HTML5 XHTML junk. I'm strictly HTML2 and find I can do just about anything the latest overblown sites can do without the bloat. I'm also down on using javascript to do fancy footwork with the pages. Just give me the basic information I'm after and stop trying to make the site into a Youtube animated video that wastes my time.

She said the worst part was making it work with Internet Explorer.

Thanks. DFH found that the OldBooks directory had had its permission changed, and there was some issue with all the phone number links (which were the bulk of the failures).

Of the remaining five, four are external links that changed and there's one missing link to our site.

Thanks! It's been a good ride overall.

Good point. I'll have to ask some Windows user to check ours out and see--we're 100% linux round here.

Some of my boards are half power supply. Many steps from +48 to +1 to

-12. Nuisance.

You can use a voltage source set to zero volts to sample current.

Good Work! You may wish to tell google the broken links are fixed. I don't know how to do that, but maybe you can tell google to rescan your site. Or maybe there's an option in the Control Panel or whatever google calls the management page. Otherwise google will fix it itself, but it may take 6 months or so.

I also checked your site in MS Explorer. Works fine, but I wish I could control the background colors like I can in firefox. The MS Explorer background is black with white text. This works ok but when you mouse over a link, the background turns white or light yellow. So you have white text on a white background which is hard to read.

I hate black background. I change all my programs like LTspice to show a white background with black text, or some other compatible color that is readable no matter what.

Were you going to give us a link to your SED pdf folder?

Screw 'em!

My compromise: I support IE8 on most of my site, with IE9 (or higher, I forget) required for certain pages (like the Coilcraft model graphing calculator). IE isn't worth supporting, even for legacy users; it's just bad. And there are legacy and new alternatives they should use.

So "Hump Day" is introducing new employees?

Well, if they are all linear regulators, then that will ensure a roughly equal distribution of heat dissipation......
