Yo yo yo!
@hippie You still here?

hiya
 
@rawbrawb Done
 
@W5VO Thanks! Now we just need to close it as being a duplicate of a common source amplifier post from '11 .... ;)
@vicatcu how is it going?
@W5VO This question is a perfect setup for you ... Hint hint. Existing answers are lacking or misleading.

Q: What is the difference between a PLL and a DLL?

rawbrawbPhase Locked Loops (PLL's) and Delay Locked Loops (DLL) are used in various applications but there isn't yet a salient discussion of the key aspects of these circuits, how they operate, in what applications they might be used, the comparison between the two circuits and why one should be used vs....

grEEtz pplz
 
Hola @AnindoGhosh
 
@ThePhoton :-)
 
@AnindoGhosh You're smiling because I'm not a ppl?
 
@ThePhoton No, I'm smiling a hello (and nodding at you) while I grab a coffee and try to wake up :-D
 
3:57 AM
@AnindoGhosh Too much coffee today for me...hopefully I'll sleep okay.
 
@ThePhoton When you're done with your coffee quota, that's a good time to start on Red Bull.
 
@AnindoGhosh Ugh, I don't want your sleep schedule.
 
@ThePhoton Sleep is overrated. :-)

@rawbrawb m didn't realize that :-/

Morning!

@vicatcu Hey, I have started working on Freescale microcontrollers, too!
I've got myself a TWR-S08DC-PT60 board and started reading reference manual for MC9S08PT60 on it.
Do you have any advices for me?
 
 
6 hours later…
2:22 PM
Wow, the room is very quiet today, why?
 
@abdullahkahraman ssshhhh
 
2:43 PM
sup
 
@NickHalden y0
 
@NickHalden bon jour!
 
3:17 PM
MC9S08PT60 contains an interrupt option on a pin, so that whenever a falling edge/or raising edge (selected in software) occurs, the interrupt flag is raised.
This scenario is when the "edge trigger" mode selected.
There is also an "edge trigger OR level detection" mode. When this mode is selected, and let's say falling edge and low level detection is selected, the device will raise the interrupt flag whenever there is a falling edge, and as long as there is a LOW on this pin.
Microcontroller will raise the flag as long as the pin is LOW, no matter you clear the flag.
So, the interrupt (if enabled) is always generated.
I don't get what is this useful for?
What is this useful for?
Related reference manual section: "5.2.1.2 Edge and level sensitivity", Page 130.
Should I ask it as a question in the website?
 
4:08 PM
@abdullahkahraman Probably if you have a situation where after you handle the interrupt, if the flag doesn't clear, you jump right back to the interrupt routine and try something else (or do the same thing but more of it). For example, keep reducing current until the over-temperature alarm clears.
 
@ThePhoton Oh, right, cool!
 
@abdullahkahraman or if there are two distinct events, like a quick transition down and back up that is very fast that you don't want to miss but you also need level triggering.
 
This sounds like someone we know - especially the "professional guess" statement:
0
A: Driving a laser module from 5V supply

DannyAll light emitting diodes have a voltage threshold defined by the asymptotes of the VI curve that intersect between 0 and its rated operating current. Low power RED LASER diodes are no exception. The threshold is near 1.6V and the rated Vf from 2.0 to 2.8 depends on product quality, size and rati...

 
@ThePhoton you gonna answer my question on PLL/DLL ? All the answers so far are lacj=king teh obvious reasons why you'd use one vs. the other. I beleive for you tis is a "free beer" question as Angleatlarge calls them.
 
@AnindoGhosh Agreed.
 
4:15 PM
@AnindoGhosh oh for certain, I've flagged him 3 times so far in teh last 2 hours.
 
and hi everyone. I've been pretty busy today, doesn't see like I missed much action though.
 
@rawbrawb I'd like to but I don't have time to answer properly. Any way IIRC the others at least touch on why one or the other, but don't really focus on that part of the question.
 
@ThePhoton It's weird but I can now tell it's him in the first sentence or so. Even when he is giving reasonable answers.
 
@rawbrawb Doesn't Dave Tweed's answer pretty much get it?
 
@ThePhoton Well, it will be around for awhile, i don't intend on answering it.
 
4:18 PM
I guess Dave says why use DLLs, but nothing about why use PLLs.
 
@rawbrawb I can usually tell because when I come back tired after a busy day, the first answer I notice will always be his. :-(
 
@ThePhoton it's not wrong, but it's only a start. There is a few very key differences.
 
To be honest, the only time I"ve used DLLs is in Xilinx FPGAs where its the only choice.
 
@AnindoGhosh That is you being paranoid ...
 
@rawbrawb No, just tired after a long day. Eyes closing, no mood for troll-farming.
 
4:19 PM
@ThePhoton I'll give you a hint. It has to do with how jitter propogates
 
@rawbrawb Jitter does not propogate.
 
@AnindoGhosh In my world it does.
Like weeds.
 
@ThePhoton Oh, ok. In my world it propagates, but never seen it propogate.
 
@AnindoGhosh even after 3 red bulls?
 
@rawbrawb BAD rawb BAD! We're out of Red Bull, and today of all days!
 
4:22 PM
@ThePhoton I'm ignoring Anindo, I'm too tired to go language/typing troll farming
 
@rawbrawb Hmm, yes!
 
@AnindoGhosh Chai masala! and boil the crap out that Tea!
 
I wonder if Boosting a Lithium Coin Cell is like boosting a car.
@rawbrawb I don't do tea :-)
 
4:39 PM
@AnindoGhosh lol, nice title :)
 
 
1 hour later…
5:55 PM
good morning
 
@jippie good evening
 
hi all
can you put an iframe into a question
 
user61389
6:20 PM
Morning!
 
hey Camil
 
6:44 PM
@vicatcu I certainly hope not, that would be a security issue for the website.
 
user61389
@vicatcu No, it isn't possible. Markdown doesn't accept attributes in HTML, so you can't set the source attribute of your iframe.
 
@vicatcu you shouldn't be using Apple products ...
 
7:37 PM
@ThePhoton pfff a third option. I actually found a reference to 'my' definition earlier today on Google. But I'm too tired now to check the details. I never thought OP was referring to a beast of a scope like this one (I would image basic manual reading abilities when you can afford one of these).
I hit my rep target for today. I'm off to bed
/me is out.
 
user61389
@jippie bed? 21:40?
 
11:44 PM
Can I speak?
Yeah, I can.
