Question about absolute maximum rating
I'm not formally trained in this stuff, so I have some serious knowledge gaps that get me in trouble sometimes. This situation involves using a USB- to-serial adapter to flash firmware to a...

Input protection (again)
Hi all, finally got around to testing these LND150's back to back (in series) as input protection. After playing with my signal generator, I plugged this into the AC wall outlet. (with a remote...

Relay vs. FET's
So, is my argument weak? One of our products needs to interface to various, unknown, ever-changing, commercial building alarm panels. Our designer is using opto-isolators to drive a pair of N-Channel...

Make LTSpice report an error
I'd like a way to make LTSpice report an error if one of my sub-circuits detects an invalid condition. For example, I often simulate a PIC by representing it as a sub-circuit that applies signals to...

ACbrrr monitoring
What can I learn (in absolute and relative terms) from monitoring the temperature and pressure in high and low side coolant lines to the ACbrr's evaporator coil? E.g., obviously, they can tell me of...

Simple Low Voltage Shut Down
I have a little circuit consisting of an LM358 and BC547 emitter follower. It runs off 4 x AAA alkaline batteries and consumes about 50mA. What is the simplest way, without consuming additional power,...

Another Word For Linear?
Suppose someone comes to you with a piece of audio gear with a volume knob with all its response at one end. You immediately know that some idiot subbed a linear pot for a log pot (or vice versa...

Another op-amp stability question (LT1677)
Tim W.'s question about the influence of resistance in the feedback path of a voltage follower reminded me of a similar problem I ran into a while back. I've used LT1677s as an integrator in several...
