The design of a generator system requires many hours of detailed planning with the goal of creating an extremely reliable backup power source. Properly installed, the ...

The hobby circuit below uses an unusual method to generate about 12,000 volts with about 5uA of current. Two SCRs form two pulse generator circuits. The two SCRs discharge a 0.047uF a 400v capacitor ...

Learn how to prepare your home and safely connect a backup generator for power during outages from extreme weather or utility ...

Hurricane and wildfire seasons are underway, and they appear to be getting longer and more severe in recent years. In response to this, portable generators and power stations have become critical ...

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...

I have wanted to make a pulse generator for years. I know you can buy perfectly good ones, but not if you want non-overlapping outputs to drive the mosfets in synchronous-rectified dc-dc converters.

SKiDL is very, very cool. It’s a bit of Python code that outputs a circuit netlist for KiCAD. Why is this cool? If you design a PCB in KiCAD, you go through three steps: draw the schematic, assign ...

During a winter storm, a generator can help give your home or business power if electricity has been knocked out. But people ...

The behavior of analog circuits can often be characterized by sweeping their inputs with a signal going across a range of frequencies and then observing the output. These sweeps can be composed of ...
