MEP EP#249: How Soft Are Your Diodes?
Parker Signed up for the EXTRA LIFE charity this year to raise money for the Texas Children's Hospital This Saturday (Nov 7th) Parker will be broadcasting a 24 hour video game stream Will be playing the Half-Life 2 video game all the way through This includes the two episode expansions to the base campaign Difficulty level will be set to 'Hard' and I will be attempting to unlock all the achievements at the same time. Donations are tax-deductible and 100% of it goes to the hospital Learning some javascript to build plugins for the stream PinoTaur REV3 has gone gold Added more current sensing Low Current Allegro ACS70331EESATR-005B3 High Current Allegro ACS711KEXLT-15AB-T Changed Relay to a socketed relay type ISO micro relays type On PCB flyback diodes for coils MRA4004 Relay is driven by both the MCU and the Fault pin on the high current sensing IC Walmart fires store robots Saw improvements in inventory control with the robots, but not enough of an improvement in revenues and other measures. One premise is that stores will sell more goods if the shelves are stocked and wanted items are made available Stephen How soft are your diodes? Softness factor - a definition of the reverse current characteristic Ta = time when charge from depletion region is removed Tb = time when charge from semiconductor region is removed S-factor = tb/ta S-factor = unity = soft recovery S-factor unity = fast or snappy-recovery General purpose/fast recovery (FRED diodes) The SSPS? @zane is going back and listening to episode 1 What was the SSPS? What were the specifications???? Where did we leave off
