The CPU socket is the most crucial compatibility factor when choosing a motherboard. This connection point determines which processors can be used with your board. Current socket types include: AMD Sockets AMD’s socket strategy focuses on longevity and upgrade paths: ...
The term “irrelevant” is used in the datasheet with respect to the clock and JK inputs when the reset is low. Changes in these inputs have no effect on the output until the reset is held high and a clock transition is received. Point to Ponder: When a flip-flop is first powered ...
The easiest way to understand how MOSFETs work is to compare them with PNP and NPN transistors and show them in similar circuits. The advantage of a MOSFET is this: It requires very little current (almost zero current) into the gate to turn it ON and it can deliver 10 to 50 amps or ...
from –1.8 V to +3.6 V. By doing this directly, sweeping voltage beyond VDD will turn on the power clamp ESD device. To avoid this, initially sweep VSWEEP from –1.8 V to +1.8 V and use extrapolation methods to add that 3.6 V data point....
After the MOSFET has been turned off, the boost inductor discharges its energy into the load until its current goes to zero. The boost inductor has now run out of energy, the drain node is floating and the inductor resonates with...
These motors have strong N52 magnets and solid build quality at an attractive price point. While you can find motors for less money they are rarely worth buying. According to rumour, Emax is selling the ECO II motors at a lost, just trying to match the cheapest motors on the market. I ...
One of my pet peeves is when my fellow engineers misinterpret component datasheets. This happened a few times recently in separate instances, all involving power MOSFETs. So it’s time for me to get on my soapbox. Listen up! I was going to post...
In the past, the switch technology of choice was a silicon power MOSFET. However, as LIDAR system designers strive to get more performance, silicon power MOSFETs have become the major limiting factor for two reasons. The first is a large input capacitanceCissdue to the large device needing to...
I think the booster is essential to maintain a reasonable input for the mount. I also thought about lifepo4 but I find them very expensive. I've paid <100$ for the 50ah 12v battery I have (this particular model with, in theory, 1200 cycles of 50% deep of discharge) and something equi...
When the inductor cur- IL (100 mA/div) rent reaches zero, all the energy has been delivered to the output; so the rectifying Time (500 ns/div) MOSFET turns off, and the IC goes into a sleep mode (phase #2). At this point, both MOSFETs are off (open), so the SW pin is in ...
