- Creating a very fast edge rate generator for testing (or taking the pulse of your scope)Damian Bonicatto Phoenix BonicattoI recently purchased a new oscilloscope for home use. It’s a 250 MHz scope, but I was curious what the actual –3 dB frequency was as most scopes have a bit more upper end margin than their published rating. The signal generators I have either don’t go...Mar 18, 2024
- Hall effect split-core current sensor calibration stationDamian Bonicatto Phoenix BonicattoRecently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, and the inverter input current. These currents can vary from...Dec 27, 2022
- Reduce acoustic noise from capacitorsAdding parts or cutting PCB slots can make a difference Some surface-mount capacitors exhibit acoustic noise when operated at frequencies in the audio range. A recent design uses 10-μF, 35V X5R 1206 ceramic capacitors that produce noticeable acoustic noise. To quiet such a...Sep 5, 2011
