Wow, that didn't come out the way I expected, sorry about that. Jeez, that's big, but at least it's somewhat readable.

Another method using the definition of the unilateral Laplace Transform is I've been trying to figure out how to post this so, sorry if it is no longer topical.

Makes sense now, thanks. I just didn't expect a shift operator used to define a constant so I assumed it was something special. It was the only one out of about 30 lines of #define that was done that way. Not the way I'd have done it, but I'm just a hack. Thanks much, probably post more ?s next week...

Ok that makes sense, I still think it is a weird way to define a constant. It threw me.

What does this mean?<p>#define ERR (1<<15)<p>specifically the (1<<15) part.<p>Rick

ICAPS/4 DEMO by Intusoft is a really nice package for simulation. I used it for an Op-Amp design contest in a class (we lost). Probably had about 90 nodes, but only works with that many wires if you use the hierarchical blocks function.-Rick

Fantastic. Congrats.

Transformers only work with AC. The voltage in an inductor is defined by a first order differential equation as L*di/dt. Conceptually, the voltage across an inductor is equal to the inductance (which is defined my the material and it's geometry) times the change in current over the change in time. W...

OK, but the followup questionis why?

Power Mosfets could be used as Voltage Amplifiers, but the primary usage as I understand it is to control (switch) current. MOSFETs make excellent switches allowing for interesting things like pulse width modulation or PWM. The MOSFET can be switched on and off rapidly to produce a speed controller ...

I am building an embedded controller using 74xxx chips as decoders, latches, logic, etc. The 8088 has 20 address lines. AD0-AD7 and A16-A19 are multiplexed and definitely require latching. Do the remaining A8-A16 require latching? Based on the timing diagram given in the spec, I think not, but my sy...
