Bang-bang photovoltaic regulator needs no magnetics
You don’t always need a sophisticated MPPT controller to extract and regulate photovoltaic power. This elegant little circuit may do just fine.
Use Copper to Temperature-Compensate High Current Measurements
Measuring high currents via cable voltage drop is an economical solution, but how can the large copper tempco be compensated?

DAC designs allow for a seemingly endless range of incremental improvements. Here’s another you’ll like.
Music to the ears: Basics of pedal effect
Fundamental to the reproduction of era-specific and musician-specific music is the technology contained in pedal effect gadgets. Here's how you can get started design a pedal circuit.
Music to the ears: Pedal effect design
Musicians favour pedal effect circuits created with specific types of components or with a specific circuit design because of how sound changes with them. Here's a design example.
Music to the ears: Effect simulation, emulation
Audio simulation and emulation with LTspice and a simple digital audio system, such as Windows Multimedia Player, gives you a design advantage. But simulation and emulation have their own pitfalls.
Designing an induction cooker: Basics first
Induction cookers are quick to cook and highly energy efficient and safer due to the lack of an open flame. Here's how you design one.
Lowering the ripple of PWM DACs
Learn about lowering the ripple of PWM DACs without decreasing the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter or increasing the frequency of PWM signal.
Gain without limits
Here's a SPICE model where each NPN stage is biased by its three resistors in such a way that none of the stages can saturate no matter how high the transistor gain ß gets.
1-bit PROM programmer targets high-current devices
Although most devices use the ROMs in their logic-one state, a programmer is a handy device when programming is required.
