How to design digital rheostat that can handle 100 mA?
Specification:
Bidirectional current
Output current: 1 uA to 100 mA
Terminals common-mode voltage: +/- 12V
That would be 24 Meg to 240 Ohm if that is possible.
Stability: +/- 1% if possible
Bandwidth:...

Why do I have to increase the current by 2V when I am using a transistor?
I have a 3V 3W LED, which I would like to control with an ESP32.
For controlling the LED, I have chosen a TP122 transistor.
Here is my 'schematic': (The Arduino is an ESP in real life, and the 3 V ...

How do I create a circuit to reliably calculate a range of unknown resistances?
I'm designing a low power circuit which serves to determine the unknown resistance across a 16 channel sensor. So far the results are bit subpar. The resistances are a function of a different applied ...

Testing to find polarity of PCB power connector
I've got a PCB I ordered from China. It required a 5V input voltage through a barrel jack. The issue is there is no sign showing the polarity (positive or negative center) so I don't want to connect ...

Why is there a sudden drop at the rest initial point after discharging? (trying to find IR Drop of LIC)
I'm trying to get IR drop of one of my LIC cells.
After discharge, at the initial point of rest, I believe there should be a sudden increase in the voltage due to resistance.
Does anybody know why is ...

Why does a line-tester glow more when I touch the steel door frame?
I reassembled my line tester, and it was then that I got to know how it actually works. I know that when someone touches the metal part at the top, the neon LED inside glows. However, I have seen that ...
