As the title says, kinda… Dave answers the age old question, do single take videos really work? No. No, they don’t. SPOILERS: Tutorial on turning two NPN transistors into a fast bidirectional zener impulse clamp. A comparison of the low level signal noise on 11 different oscilloscopes. Teardown of the ...

NEW screencast type tutorial! Let me know what you think. NOTE: The plan is at least several of these tutorial videos per week consistently. So on my main channel that frequency could swamp the other content, hence considering a new channel. An introduction to digital logic, digital vs analog, logic ...

Dave shows you how to setup, measure and generate an Efficiency vs Load Current characteristic curve for a DC-DC converter, just like you see in the datasheets. Several traps for young players are discussed, along with plotting Logarithmic axis charts in a spreadsheet. Electronic Load Kit BM235 Multimeter: http://amzn.to/2hJp78T Rigol ...

Fundamentals Friday What is a Schmitt trigger and how does it work? What is hysteresis? And how do they fix two common problems in electronics, namely slow slew rate signals on CMOS digital chip inputs causing oscillation, and noise on comparator inputs. The issues are demonstrated first on the breadboard, ...
