Tranistor Saturation State
Transistors: base resistor selection for saturation state. Need to know Maximum current load for the device to be turned on. Need to know minimum HFE for transistor. Divide (Maximum Current)/(Minimum HFE) to get the minimum base current Add 30% to … Continue reading
Decimal to two 8 bit numbers
Example: 5813 1. Divide the number by 256 : 5813/256 = 22.70703125 The whole number is the High Byte 2. Multiply the whole number * 256 = 22 * 256 = 5632 3. Subtract that number from the origional for … Continue reading
Pic Timer Calculations
Overflow = 256 for 8 bit, 65536 for 16bit Delay in seconds: Delay = ((Overflow – InitTMR)*prescalar) /(Frequency/4) Value to put in InitTMR – delay is in Seconds InitTMR = Overflow – ((Delay * Frequency)/(4 * Prescalar))
