Re: simplified converter needed for duty cycle to voltage (SEB)
Somewhat outside the box thinking... Generate a master ramp synchronized to the input frequency, but amplitude "AGC'd" to be 1V peak by a controlled current source. Replication of this same current...

OKI solder station
Anyone have a pointer to a circuit diagram for the base unit RF station?
 
Non Lead Soldering?
I want to solder some IC tabs (non PCB now) with 96-4 Sn:Ag solder. I am assuming thats the only non-lead deal out there. What is the best flux, temperature? I am toying with a SnCl4 flux, as I can...

SCR Module Ixys vs Semikron
I am looking at using a dual thyristor module and could use either Ixys MCC56-12 or Semikron SKKT57B12 both have similar specs 1200V 50+A and fusing I2t 8000+A2s. Not cheap but the Ixys is less than...

How do you test a 24Bit ADC
Can anyone recommend a way to test the resolution and a accuracy of a 24bit converter? Does this require expensive, calibrated, super precision equipment, or is there a simpler (cheaper) way to do...

ADC Front end Filtering
Hello, I was wondering if a low pass filter with a cut off frequency at 1/2 the sampling rate frequency is usually needed for ADCs? I have a 1 milli-ohm shunt, and I would like to read 10uV to 100mV...
