    Inverting input greater than non-inverting input = positive voltage?

    Hello, With the rails at +/- voltages, I was always under the assumption that when the voltage value at the inverting input is greater that the voltage value of the non-inverting input of an opamp, the output would be a negative voltage! OR With the rails, Vcc to positive voltage and...

    AC/DC Power supply with no neutral ???

    Hello, I am working on a home automation device where I need low powered electronics within the electrical box of a household switch. Typically we have the line and the neutral wires available in the box. Therefore a small AC/DC power supply would use the existing 120VAC line as the input to a...

    MOSFET question?

    Hello, In attachment below, the amp meter reads 4.78ma. I always figured that when R2 would drop to 20 ohms, the current would increase. But it simply stays the same!!! Why?? Wouldn't lowering the resistance allow more current through the circuit?? In other words, the current is...

    high IR led power?

    Hello, I would have a quick question about the TSAL6100 IR LED: http://www.vishay.com/docs/81009/tsal6100.pdf In the absolute maximum ratings section of the data sheet, it says that this led's forwards current is 100ma. But then it also says that the peak forwards current is 200ma...

    Tsop fails on extreme lighting intensities!

    Hello, I am using the Tsop4838 ir sensor and I am able to sense objects at different distances. I then tried to detect those same objects but with a flash light directed right on the tsop sensor. To my dismay, the sensor completely died off producing NO signal at all!!!! Is this...

    Can this be done using a JFET?

    Hello, Please view attachment OPAMP1. Here is a circuit that works exactly as I need it. This circuit was kindly provided to me by some fellows from this site. The last piece of the puzzle is I need to control R5 from my MCU. I would like to know if R5 can be replaced with a JFET as shown in...

    BJT Ramp?

    Hello, I am pretty new to trasnsistors and lately I had calculated a ramping circuit using a simple Pn2222 transistor. When the input was 2.0VDC at the base, Vc was 1VoltDC. As the input to the base voltage ramped up towards 3.3 VDC, Vc ramped down to 0.5VDC. Therefore, this circuit had a gain...

    Emitter bias feedback with REE?

    Hello, I have been experimenting with emitter bias feedback method for biasing a transistor. Please locate in the following link: When I did the circuit and calculated it with the typical values as shown in attachment T2-EBF-A.png (left side), the Ie calculated value was 0.101 ma but when...

    General question about storing graphics!

    Hello, I have a quick question about storing graphics in external flash memory. I have my own GL which is able to retrieve text, icons or pictures from an 8MEG flash and displays them on either a 1.5 " or 2.0" color LCD. Here's the thing though, when I am using the 1.5" LCD and I display a...

    Looking for a 1.5" color LCD!

    Hello, Does anyone know where I can find a 1.5" color LCD (approximate resolution 176 x 132) with built in controller with MCU interface capabilities. I will interface this LCD with a PIC 32. I had found one from Optrex, but they told me that it is obselete. Any other suggestions is...
