I've made a fool of myself, sorry. Of course Q1 is drawn backwards. Thanks for details provided, seems like I need some homework done. On 1 August 2016 at 18:01, gregebert wrote: > The way the schematic is drawn, Q1 is backwards, meaning the integral > diode is feeding the load and the MOSFET ha

[neonixie-l] OT: MOSFET in PWM application

First, excuses for rather offtopic question. But knowing this fine group have excellent knowingly people, I'm posting the question here. My circuit is employing P-MOSFET with its source connected to Vsupply, gate to microcontroller feeding PWM about 40 kHz, and resistive load connected between drai

AFAIR medical grade PSUs should conform to IEC 60601-1 safety standards. Among other things such PSU have defined earth and housing leakage currents. On 20 August 2014 11:31, Oscilloclock wrote: > That's absolutely terrible... And very scary about the headphones being a > conduit. > > I strictl

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: resistance of filament warm vs cold

Enameled wire is pain to strip mechanically. Back in my school days we used a pill of Aspirin and push the end of enameled wire shortly onto it with hot solder iron.

[neonixie-l] halfway OT: dot-matrix VFD from Sony Minidisc

Got broken Sony Minidisc player with damage to pickup mechanism, beyond repair. There is nice VFD inside with 12 5*7 elements, looks too good to be thrown away. It is labeled with 1-517-575-11, made by Futaba. Driver IC is OKI MSM9202-02. I'd like to use this set in a project, however, no idea how
