Hi, At present, I am learning about Switched-mode power supply and Low drop out regulator using CMOS. Could anyone suggest some good books about this? The main problem here is "using CMOS". Thanks.

I just turned 16, am in 10th grade, and am new here. Long story short, my father teaches AP Biology, AP Chemistry, Anatomy&Physiology, Astronomy, AP Biology, and AP Physics, and is middle school teacher. He's best known for his successful passing rate. Well, I took his class for AP Bio in 7th...

Hi all, it's been awhile since I've been to PF. I just got an automated email from this place imploring me to come back, and I remembered all the good times I've had here in the past. A lot has happened in the past couple years (or however long it's been since I was gone). I've done a lot...

hi! actually, I am doing my computer science engineering...and i don't have more knowledge about electronics... all i need is to know is how a usb host controller works...and how can i make on my own... so that i can connect any USB devices on it ...and use it...

Just popping back in. Every now and again I think about where I was 8 years ago and where I am now. I don't want to sound like I am tooting my own horn, so I will skip the details. But I know that I own a great deal of gratitude to PF and its unconditionally supportive community. And also to...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I could use some help. I'm a freshman in high school and for a school project, we have to make a magazine. My group and I are doing a tech and general science magazine. I'm writing a feature story on metamaterials, and a future where they are abundant. We need...

Hi everyone. This isn't a specific homework problem, I'm just trying to understand a concept. I've been studying the HI profiles (from the 21cm emission line). Almost all of them look like the attached profile. The velocity on the x-axis corresponds to the amount that the line has been...

Hey people! My names Josh and have always had an interest in the natural world, physics, and most especially, astronomy and all its related fields. Unfortunately, it stopped there and remained simply as an interest, mere dabblings in fields of knowledge that I really had no comprehension of...

HI, I'm new:) Hi! How are you? My name is Ty & I'm an EE student from Minnesota. Thought I'd introduce myself because I'm here for the long haul! Here I am, My first circuit, & this is why I love engineering, ^That feeling... Heading up to my 1st arduino meeting tomorrow. Super...

This is coming from my (just graduated) High School perspective (also my first post :blushing:) I'm interested in Biochem but want to know about atomic/particle physics. I mean I'm interested in biochem because I want to (for a lack of a better phrase) be part of drug discovery the...

Hi guys, I am sure you receive hundreds of posts like this all the time so please be patient :). I need to apply for university and I'm very lost. Originally I was thinking of doing Math and Physics but then my brother (an E. Eng.) confused me. He says that since Eng. is so similar to Math &...

Hi there. Just looking at an astophysics journal article in which they say the temperature of a pulsar is T=300eV.. My query is the following: is T=300eV shorthand for say T=300ev/k (k=Boltzman constant) so the corresponding temperature in Kelvin is T=3.75X10^6K?

Hi all, Im having a bit of trouble understanding the concept of viscosity in the scenario of a fluid between two plates, with one moving and one being stationary: what is the relevance between the viscous force of the fluid and the shear stress on the fluid given by mu(du/dy) ?

HI I'm new here. I've been having a little bit of trouble with a few of my physics problems. It seems like very basic stuff. I went to my professor's office hours and he didn't help me. He told me the wrong stuff, and when I emailed him back, he said different stuff. 1) An ideal monatomic...

I am new to this site and have forgotten so much of what I have seen in the forums. I hope to be able to use the problems and solutions posted to help me to relearn the higher level math and physics I have forgotten. I will add that it is true that when you don't use it you lose it. Having gone...

Hi This is a really trivial comment in my notes but for some reason I'm not seeing it... The following image demonstrates the perpendicular distance from an origin to the line of action of the force given as x*sin(x,F). So the moment, M = f*x*sin(x,F) which I understand. But why is it...
