@PlasmaHH So your avatar is meant to say "I'm dead to you"?

@ThePhoton But, is he wrong?

@ThePhoton when at work you are dead on the inside already...

If I build my own instrumentation amplifier using three op amp. How to calculate the maximum V+ to V- voltage?
Please help me, i haven't found the answer
@Unknown123 . . What maximum V+ to V- voltage do you want ? It's your choice
@Marla how about +/- 300VDC? Can I just randomly measure any high voltages without blowing my own instrumentation amplifier?
@Unknown123 . . So you are asking what is the maximum input voltage ? Rather than the "Rail" voltages ?
@Marla yes i'm asking for that. It's ambiguous i'm sorry
Each OpAmp will have it's own maximum input voltage on the data sheet. And that means the voltage at the input pin of the OpAmp, not the input voltage to the entire amplifier.
13:00
@Marla I've read that in the op amp datasheet, it's written that the Maximum Absolute Rating of Differential Input Voltage is 32 Volt. It's a maximum rating for one op amp.
@Marla But unfortunately, the input is located at each different op amp. How do I measure it's maximum than?
look, the input of V1 and V2 is located differently, how do I know the maximum input then?
@Unknown123 . . I believe that the 32 volt maximum you refer to (data sheet) is when the OpAmp is operating from 30 volts (+15, -15). So, its a matter of input volts not exceeding Vcc or Vee.

Hm, Looks like a rodent has taken a swim in one of the buckets in the garden. Two weeks ago. Now it got a bit harder to determine the species
@PlasmaHH How big is the bucket? Could it have been a marsupial?
I have to admit, I'm somewhat happily surprised by Microchip sending out offers on newly produced Atmel-technology based boards. (i.e. carrying a chip branded Microchip)
When I ordered the board I assumed it was old stock...

@PlasmaHH And I thought Germany was known for its Rattenfänger
Hi there,
do you know if there are pnp transistors in a sot 23 package where the collector is on pin 2 and emitter is on pin 3?
As reference i want this one: https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/data-sheet/BC856_BC857_BC858.pdf where pin 2 and 3 are swaped?
That pinout is extremely standard. Not saying they don't exist standard, but "back in the day" when it was still Philips calling them to make a modified version was easier than trying to find something off the shelve.
@ThePhoton just one city. We like to soecialise
@Asmyldof looks like time for a redesign...
16:04
@Eggi Did you ask this on the main site a couple of weeks ago? I remember a similar question, SOT-23, looking for pins swapped. Not sure if it was about a PNP type.
Maybe that one was about a MOSFET
@ThePhoton No, came up 10 minutes ago
@Eggi Give it a search, I think an answer was found (but also it was very likely a FET, not a PNP).
Can always call Diodes Inc and/or Nexperia (former NXP). Biggest players in small outline discretes. They can probably very easily search a database
I know Nexperia has a very fast amount of production documentation, logging and searchability
@Asmyldof Diodes Inc is bigger than On Semi?
@ThePhoton Forgot about them
Only a tired human
So call those too
16:20
I give it a try, thanks guys!

Holy Jeezus, now I know why Perl is stuck in a timewarp:
http://www.wall.org/~larry/
@ThePhoton Because there isn't an obfuscated Perl contest?
17:09
sorry, i wanted to write some text too ^^
Sorry to bother you again, i am trying to replace this circuit, the duty of this circuit is, when sense is grounded that a 3.3V signal is applied to sense_in
there is the idea with n-channel mosfets, but i have no way to place any cap between gate and Source
Supply voltage varies between 12V and 20V
what do you think of this preparation?
I think I need more booze
always a solution
@W5VO I believe it's just called the "Standard Perl Style Perl Programming Contest".

Q: What is it about the redesign of the new Pi 3 B+ power supply that's discussed here?

uhohToday's announcement at raspberrypi.org: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ On Sale Now at $35 describes several improvements. I was very interested to find out if the power supply had been improved, but when I listened to the video I simply could not understand what they are saying. I'm a native speaker ...

18:52
@Eggi It would be easier with a PFET
19:14
USB3: Is it safe to cross the SSTX+ and SSTX- lines?
I think the standard says yes, but ...
@ThePhoton Are you here? I'm not sure about a question asking for the differential voltage gain. The answer is 800 but I'm getting 400.
I've tried two different ways but all gave me 400
The voltage gain is simply \$\frac{Vo}{Vd/2}=g_mr_o2||Ro3\$ using the half mode differential circuit. ro is 100k and gm=2/250. So Av=400
Ro3 is a few mega ohms
The other way I tried was to think of the input signal going through the emitter follower Q1 and common-base Q2. The result is: Av=A1*A2=1/2gm*ro||Ro3=400.
I forgot to mention Vcc=3V and Vee=-3V
20:25
@ThePhoton I would assume so
