I am trying to develop a circuit to convert 5-18Vdc, 100ma max to 0.4Vdc, 400ma. I am working on a synchronous buck converter design but I am finding limited resources on a discrete design. All of the buck converter IC's I found do not go low enough and have inadequate efficiency when they are...

hello! Nice to communicate with your guys! I'm a student who is studying in double E subject. I found some problems when I'm doing the new project this term. Is there some one can help me to say something about the principle of the frequency to voltage converter? I'm really confusing with this...

hi everyone :smile: i am a 2nd year engineering student...i have a problem here... :confused: i was asked to build a 3V to 5V dc-dc boost converter but i have no idea how to build it... i have search all over the webs but the information they gave me ain't what i want. i was asked to...

Is there any theories on taking light, and changing it to matter? Imagine a machine that could do that. Imagine instantly having a house built in front of you, in a matter of milliseconds, it's got to be the ultimate invention.

Hello, I want to make a DC to DC voltage converter so that I can "step up" the output voltage from what it is to something a little more useable. Right now it outputs about .5 volts, I was thinking that is I could step that up to around 1 or 2 (or higher, higher is no problem) volts, I could...

does anyone know where i can find a frequency to voltage converter or know how to make one? preferably using a low voltage supply... thanks!

I designed an optical A/D (on paper only) several years ago. I have no means to make one since small scale integration is required. Any ideas how to get someone interested? If it works correctly, there would be zero conversion time and only settling time for the detectors outputs.
