Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that meld the functions of sensor and heater ...
.. rise and fall times of the Tiny Pulser. You can see that the Tiny Pulser delivers a very clean pulse with a rise time of 510 ps and a fall time of 395 ps. We now have all the information we need to make our bandwidth calculations. (The ...
In recent EDN design ideas, we’ve seen thermostat designs that meld the functions of sensor and heater into a single device: FET, BJT, or even a simple length of fine gauge copper wire. A virtue inherent in thermostat designs that use a ...
.. Replacing the R A 0.1% part with a 0.05% part Replacing the 30.1 kΩ R B2 with a 28.7 kΩ 1% resistor in series with a 5% 510-Ω unit. Driver power supply Alas, once again, we must abandon the goal of keeping the errors introduced to less ...
An adjustable load in Figure 1 provides a constant-current load for testing power supplies and batteries. It allows you to set the load current to up to 1.05 A, using a potentiometer, and displays the current on a three-digit LED display controlled ...
.. R 4 in response to an input change. V OUT now settles to ½ LSbit of a 16-bit source in 2.5 ms. Changing C 3 to 510 pF (10% COG/NPO) reduces that time to 1.4 ms. Smaller values of C 3 provide little further advantage. The V OUT ...
