You can assemble a pulse-generation circuit from a simple Schmitt-input AND gate plus a resistor-capacitor timing network. However, if you need a logic function that's not a standard catalog item, you need a Schmitt-input gate or inverter and ...
The white-LED flasher in Figure 1 offers an alternative approach to a previously published idea ( Reference 1 ). Targeting use in portable appliances and products powered by a single cell, this circuit flashes an LED to provide a highly visible ...
A Hunt EDN When I was recently debugging a design, I discovered that a short circuit existed from a ground plane to a power plane. I did not have access to a milliohmmeter or an equivalent tester for locating this type of short circuit. So, I ...
Vladimir Rentyuk EDN Most engineers know that they can use an inexpensive, three-terminal adjustable regulator, such as Fairchild Semiconductor’s LM317 , as an adjustable regulator to only some necessary value of voltage, such as 36 or 3 V. ...
Application Note AN-4155 March 2013 Fairchild recently developed a field-stop, shorted-anode, insulated-gate, bipolar transistor (IGBT) product family; ranging from 1100-1400 V and including an intrinsic body diode. Since the intrinsic ...
