Why does this power supply use low-side regulation?

You missed the point about correctly spelled words out of context? There's no way to fix that. Upthread the suggestion sounded like removing correct words, that one is not likely to use, from the main dictionary. Or maybe spell-check the custom dictionary -- I've had to do that for some people way back -- they added bad words to the dictionary, which amplified their bad spelling.

Agent is old in this area, the spell check is done on demand or send, no highlights like modern spellers.

My wife uses that phrase ;-)

All the Spice literature has for Isb is "sidewall" Is for bipolar devices; HSpice lists an "ISBS" (alias LV19) as Source-bulk saturation current at -1 volt bias for a MOSFET, likewise for drain and body.

PSpice allows independent axes. So you can do a DC or TRAN power-up, but have a separate plot, x-axis = VCE of the transistor, y-axis = IC of the transistor, a "live" SOA plot. I even superimposed the SOA rating curves from the data sheet ;-)

Yup. I've illustrated modeling BVceo and avalanche here on several occasions, but it's a PITA to model correctly. It's only been relatively recently added into the models for integrated devices.

Getting temperature rise into the act is even nastier.

Mine does too, but it's from a children's song...

Nobody loves me Everybody hates me Going to the garden to eat worms Big fat juicy ones Tiny little squiggly ones Watch them wriggle and squirm

Bite their heads off Suck their juice out Throw their skins away I don't see how birds can live on Worms three times a day

Nobody loves me Everybody hates me Going to the garden to eat worms Long thin slimy ones Short fat juicy ones Gooey, gooey, gooey, gooey, worms

Long thin slimy ones slip down easily Short fat juicy ones stick Short fat juicy ones stick between your teeth And the juice goes slurp, slurp, slurp

You must have been a troublemaker in school.

How many words does a typical spell checker have? My /usr/share/dict/words file has only 38619 words.

It's too bad there's no "is this the right word" checker of a "does this make any sense" checker. ;-D

Oh thank you ;) Someone told me that and it just goes through my head when I'm unsure, same as piece of pie vs peace, man.

Yer thinking of the vise principle.

I've met principals with a grip like a vise. :)

I'll have a slice of NSA Apple and a scoop of Sugar Free Vanilla Ice Cream! :)

Your own wetware should be able to do that, just pause and imagine the other spelling in the place of the word you worry about, which better fits the context?

That would be the screw. Or maybe even the lead screw.

Well, yeah, _I'm_ able to do that - I'm talking about the nimrods who can't compose an intelligible sentence. ;-)
