.DC Spice Analysis Quirk... Anyone Know How to Do This?
I want to do a DC sweep (.DC): -3.6V to -1V (step size = 2.6V) -1V to +2V (step size = (100/3)mV) +2V to +7.2V (step size = 5.2V) (Lots of data points around the "knee" :-) That makes a list that PSpice barfs on, claiming "list too long". Anyone know some gimmicks to get around that limitation? Tha... 5 May 2010 10:26

Funny liitle project, wrote UDP stack, with netcat on top: jppecat
Wanted to test a Microchip ENC28J60 ethernet controller chip. That chip is 3.3V and 5 V tolerant. So decided to test on the PC par port first. Ended up writing a complete UDP ARP subsystem in C, this will add ethernet for next to nothing to anything that has an 8 bits port. http://panteltje.com/panteltje/jppecat/... 4 May 2010 08:59

TO220--thin leads--high current--How?
I have a somewhat basic question. I am using a high current MOSFET (IRF3205) rated at 80A cont. Acc to convential wisdom for a copper conductor at about 4A/sqmm ct. dens. the conductor shd be about 20 sqmm, while the TO220 lead is a small fraction of that. At 80A this thin lead would probably fuse. How does one a... 7 May 2010 18:58
