AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding specific connections in a B2 Spice circuit. The user is confused about the OSC and +OSCHI connections, as well as the purpose of OS1 and OS2. It is clarified that pins 1 and 5 on a 741 op-amp are offset null connections, allowing for zero output at zero input due to manufacturing variances. Additionally, OSC may relate to an oscillator gate, similar to that found in the 74HC4060 chip. The conversation highlights the importance of identifying circuit component functions for accurate analysis.

Hello all,

I'm completely new to Spice and B2 Spice. I'm analyzing the following circuit components from a circuit which as already been constructed and I'm at a loss as to what some of the connections mean.

In the first picture, I am not sure what type of connection is being made at OSC and at +OSCHI.

In the second picture, I am not sure what OS1 and OS2 are connecting to. The third picture simply shows the same component but in B2 Spice.

Thanks,

Cyborg101

Pins 1 and 5 on a 741 are offset null connections.

They are connected like this:

They allow you to produce zero output for zero input which may not otherwise happen due to minor differences in manufacturing.

Not sure about the OSC connections. Some chips like the 74HC4060 have an oscillator gate which can be used as an oscillator or just as an input for an external oscillator. It may be something like that.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
