I have not finished watching this but I will give you the link anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnpqkuHU0pc Concerns degradation of SiC FETs under pulse conditions. I hope this is interesting for you. (or anyone else, for that matter)

I just "upgraded" from Windows 7 to 11. The new PC is a lot faster running Spice. But the File Explorer is a horror. When I drag/drop a file, the cursor becomes a giant ugly icon. When I copy a file where a copy already exists, I have to go through a secondary dialog to compare file attributes. If I right-click on a file, simple things like delete and rename are a secondary operation!...

I'd like to verify that 74F##(#) family can replace the 74##(#) chips which are getting rather expensive or of unknown (?) quality if one is second sourcing them from folks like Unicorn, or eBay (shudder). I am well aware the 74LS has may replacements including the 74ALS, 74HCT, and others, but they only fan-out to 10 LS gates or 1 original gates. I have older games that need reliabl...

I'm trying to get this new Win11 system to make sense. I got the new version of the Agent newsreader. It works, but for one weird thing: If someone includes a web link somewhere inside their post, and I open their post, Agent launches the link in my browser. Does anyone else see this? Know of a fix?

A breakthrough in low voltage blue LEDs announced recently this manages to produce 2.7eV blue photons from an applied voltage of 1.47v! It is the chemical equivalent of a Cockcroft-Walton voltage doubler. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/09/230920110657.htm Or for more details the Nature paper (may be behind a paywall) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41208-7 It...

It seems like nothing is coming close to replacing (or, acting as an alternative) RJ45's for ethernet applications. I've encountered ND9's and M8's/M12's on some kit but primarily industrial applications. Any other alternatives that are in "widespread" use (i.e., an application domain with which I might have to interact so "plan ahead")? For daughtercard connections, I imagine anythin...
