How does the leakage inductor distribute over multiple coupled inductors?
I am working in LTspice with a triple coupled magnetic inductor. I chose the factor of coupling to be 90%. L_1 is 1000uH so the uncoupled energy should be 100uH. How does the 100uH energy distribute ...

Guard line preventing leakage current
I understand that we put a guard line (which is almost at the same potential as the positive voltage) to prevent leakage from positive line to negative line. Is it possible there is a leakage from the ...

Right transimpedence amplifier choice for input range
I have a device that produces a ±30 nA signal and I'd like to measure this to a 0.1 nA precision.
Since the currents are so low and I don't have much time to make mistakes, I am planning to use a TIA ...
