The circuit in Figure 1 uses a minimal number of external parts to raise the maximum output current of a 0.5A buck switching-regulator IC to more than 6A. The circuit accommodates input voltages of 15 to 60V and delivers output voltages of 3.3, 5, or…

RFID Exploration Louis Yi, Mary Ruthven, Kevin O'Toole, & Jay Patterson What did you do? We made an Radio Frequency ID (RFID) card reader and, while attempting to create a long-range spoofer, created an jammer which overcomes card's signals. The read…

A number of circuits, such as level detectors and AM demodulators, benefit from a rectifier with a low offset voltage. Silicon diodes have an offset of approximately 0.6V and do not work well in low-level circuitry. A Schottky diode is a bit better w…

The classic LM317 adjustable-output linear voltage regulator offers a relatively high, if package-dependent, current-handling capability. In addition, the LM317 features current limiting and thermal-overload protection. With the addition of a few com…

Transistor Tutorial Summary Transistor Tutorial Summary Bipolar Junction Transistor Tutorial We can summarise this transistors tutorial section as follows: The Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is a three layer device constructed form two semiconduct…

In multiple-output power supplies in which a single supply powers circuitry of vastly different current draws, two perplexing steps are sensing the current that each output draws and deactivating the power supply in the event of an overload on that o…

LDO current regulator for power LED Challenge You've got a power LED? Great! Build a flash light! What does the spec say? "Voltage: 3.6 .. 3.8 V, power 3 W." Okay. This means that it draws some 800 mA. Three mignon cells give 4.5 V for at least…

4.1 开关应用 4.1.1 单象限开关 理想的SPST(Single pole single throw)开关如图4.1所示.开关包含电源端子1和0,其电流和电压极性如图所示.在接通状态下,电压\(v\)为零,而在断开状态下电流\(i\)为零.有时在第三端子\(C\)处施加控制信号. SPST开关的显着特征包括控制方法(有源与无源)以及它们可以在其工作的\(i-v\)平面区域.无源开关不包含控制端子\(C\).开关的状态由施加到端子0和1的波形\(i(t)\)和\(v(t)\)决定.最常见的例…
