Hello, Inspired by the thriving ML-news google group community and the lack of any such community for ECE engineers, I have made an ECE news google group. This group is made to serve as a forum for notices and announcements of interest to the electrical and computer engineering community. This includes events, calls for papers, employment-related announcements, etc. Please join at: https://groups.google.com/g/ece-news Anyone is welcome to join and grow this group. Meaningful posts and engaging members are quintessential for this to succeed. I would also be looking for community managers if and when this community grows to a considerable size. Please spread the word to your peers, professors, and managers. Thanks.

A a is definitely without redeeming social value - he has never posted anything in the least useful and his habit of describing everybody else as trolls puts the icing in the cake. Commander Kinsey is only marginally less objectionable, and Flyguy is a close third. John does know something about electronics, but his passion for reposting climate change denial propaganda and his enthusiasm for Donald Trump does make him less than engaging -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

I think we can make a TPS562208 into a pretty good +5 to -5 volt converter. We're using an LM2662 charge pump now and it's soft and noisy. You know the trick, ground the switcher output and its ground becomes the negative out.

Just droning, ritual insults.John Larkin posts here to get flattered. He doesn't post anything that deserves flattery, and he doesn't like discussing how his schemes could be improved. The very idea that they could be is insulting. He's just told us that the phase detector in the 40406 is rubbish - when the circuit includes two phase detectors and the Philips HCT9046 has a sequential phase detector which has been modified so that it doesn't have flaw present in the original. Pointing this out is insulting, but John Larkin's posted misinformation was less than useful. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

I used the +3V also to terminate the PECL, which dominated the +3V current, so I used a negative regulator to make +3V. The layout guy was puzzled. Jeroen Belleman

In a recent case, we had to plan for a buck switcher being driven backwards, such that it would blow up the big caps in its input supply.
