I needed a good, pure, 10kHz sine wave to test some stuff I'm playing with - most of my test kit here is digital thus not especially clean. Came across an LTC design note (DN564) from July 2017 with an simple/obvious and neat approach - uses a very low power single-rail op-amp and a monolithic squar...

#2 son stupidly went out in his car yesterday.

Today, he no longer has a car, but at least no-one was hurt.

Glad to hear that she's on the mend, Mark. Excellent. Hope that the trend continues. Onwards & upwards!

Just starting to warm up here - was in Abu Dhabi at the weekend (Friday/Saturday) and it hit 35C. Rain & high winds (dust storms) today. Visited the new Louvre - it was truly amazing. Just beautiful. Also a huge organic farm and spent several happy hours working in a government-funded bee projec...

One of my sons is in Belfast ATM filming as an extra in GoT for season 8.

I have never noticed men coming out of a cubicle and not stopping to wash their hands. I would think and hope that it's less common than not doing so after a wee. For those of us who do wash, there is the door with it's dirty handle to navigate on the way out in most toilets. That's peer (or pee) p...

Humanity is doomed... (*)
(*) Initially, I typed that as "Humanity is domed". Got me thinking.

Why don't men wash their hands after going to the loo,(weeeeeee or poooooooh)? Studies have found that they don't. Studies have also found that much fewer women don't wash their hands. Ancient comment, but so happens last night was at dinner and there was a bunch of folk who are involved with DXB a...

This is the sort of thing that makes me feel the OCD has got the better of them While you are at it, you may want to match the 33Ohm resistors as well Why not ask for some unicorns as well On the input stages, the absolute BEST would be to have 8 PNPs and 8 NPNs that have matched gain, collector-ba...

Much as I loved the films, SWMBO & I went to the London stage production of The Producers staring Nathan Lane, Lee Evans, Leigh Zimmerman and, for GoT fans, a younger Conleth Hill (Lord Varys). SWMBO had never even seen the film, however both of us and most of the audience were crying with laugh...

I believe 2V nominal SLAs are actually 2.1V and float charge up to 2.25V.

Not deep in Chilterns, but wild camping in Oman tonight on Jebel Shams in the Northern Hajar. 8:30 pm here and just about 20C...

Correct lube is important when turning. I have used WD40 but prefer "soluble oil" and apply it with a paint brush. Also I prefer the indexable cutters - they produce a better finish IMHO. The slide on the MD65 has a couple of grub screws to set its travel - you may need to take the slide o...
