    DC Power Supply (5V 10A) - Questions

    I use a PC SMPS for all my high current projects that need a 5V supply at a high current rating. The SMPS rails are shortcircuit protected at each voltage, there can be some high frequency ripple but you can use additional filter caps for it (by the way the maximum ripple stipulated by the...

    What do you mean by 3 1/2, 3 3/4 digits specs for a DMM

    Thanks for the help audioguru. I found the explanation for the 3 1/2 system and i've observed that it applies to all DMM with 1999 counts, it says that the first digit is a 0 or 1 because if we have a range of 0.999 then next range will be 9.999 and to measure 1.042, 0.999 is not adequate and...

    What do you mean by 3 1/2, 3 3/4 digits specs for a DMM

    Some one asked me about the 3 1/2 , 3 3/4 specs for a DMM, i explained it as i found it in a book but i'm myself not completely satisfied with the explanation. Do any of you guys have a good explanation for the above. I do understand the digits specs like 1999, 3999, 5999, 79999 (as i have them...

    Need part number for SMD with code 31-OQ

    I'm looking for the part number for the SMD component with the code 31-OQ written on it (the O and Q have a minus sign on top of them). Its a 6 pin device in a SOT 26-3 or SOT 363 package (not sure of the dimensions). it is used in the power supply section of a MP3 player circuit (seems like...

    Variable supply using LM317 with 32Vrms transformer rating

    thanks for the alternate circuit. I seemed to have a 5V DC supply also from the same transformer (the windings are different) and i will use a ICL7660 to generate a -5 for the negative bias of LM317

    Variable supply using LM317 with 32Vrms transformer rating

    Thanks for the inputs, The transformer that was in the supply earlier has taps: 0-9.5v: i'll use for the negative bias for bringing the o/p of LM317 to 0V 0-10.5v: use with a 7805 for 5V supply 0-11.5v: not used till yet (could use for supply for a panel meter) 16-0-16: use with 7815/7915 for...

    Variable supply using LM317 with 32Vrms transformer rating

    We needed some variable power supplies back at my college where i teach and came across some old multi voltage supplies which were dead but the transformers were fine.  I planned to make a variable supply using the LM317 but the transformer has a winding of 32Vrms that i plane to use but 32Vrms...

    diy 2.1 pc speaker

    If you can change the amp ICs being used, you could use the TDA8510J from philips. It is an amp designed for 2.1 speakers and is usually used in Creative 2.1 speakers. The amp has the specs of a 26W BTL + 2x 13W stereo channels. Here's what the data sheet says: The TDA8510J is an integrated...

    Planning to get a new temperature controlled Soldering Iron

    Hi Guys, i have been using a 25W Solderon soldering iron for the past 15 years. i used a fine chisel tip with it, earlier i have been working with normal PCBs, but now since most of the PCB now have become more of SMD type and are much smaller in size, i am planning to get a new temperature...

    microSD card (mp3 player with more memory) problem!!!!

    You cannot add a memory card inplace of the memory chip. the chip you marked is a flash memory chip which readily connects directly with the microcontroller (the other small square chip in the pic). try looking for the data sheet for the  microcontroller and see if it supports other storage...

    USB on micro SD slot problem

    You cannot connect a USB drive on a microSD card slot. The specifications and format for a microSD card and USB interface are totally different from each other. A USB has just 2 pairs of terminals, one for the power (the two outer ones) and one for the data (the two inner ones). A USB drive has...

    Power supply ignorance

    lab power supplies base on an SMPS donot have much of a surge rating for the current. if you drive a motor (especially a motor from a power tool) , the motor will appear as a short circuit for the supply and most of the time the supply goes into the current limiting mode. To drive heavy...

    Hitachi oscilloscope CRT pinouts and specs needed

    We use a CRT setup as a part of our experiment for our students to calculate the e/m ratio of the electron. The experiment is usually referred to as finding e/m ratio using magnetic focusing. The supply to the CRT seems to have some problems and the setup is quite old and no circuit diagrams...
