Choosing appropriate capacitor value from ripple
I have a H-bridge driving a 12V motor that at 100% duty cycle draws around 15A. To start the motor I am applying a soft-start, the duty cycle of PWM to H-bridge goes from around 60% to 100% and PWM ...

What is the Best Way to Reduce High Power Three Phase Rectifier Ripple?
If a three-phase 220V AC @ 50Hz(three lines having 127V RMS voltage if measured to neutral each) mains supply is rectified with a standard 6-diode rectifier looks like this:
I believe if 25 amps is ...

4060BE Starts With Output High
Is a 4060B IC meant to start with Logic 1 on outputs, or does it start counting from 0? Surely as its a binary counter, its meant to start with all outputs on logic 0, and count up using binary?
My ...

Rectifier ripple voltage formula
So I thought the ripple voltage was approximated by the formula
Vr,pp = Vp / fRC
for a half-wave rectifier, and Vp/2fRC for a full-wave.
Yet simulation shows ...

Ripple flowing through probes connected to the same point!
While trying to filter the ripple of my switching PSU, I've come to a phenomenon that
is probably well known to professionals, but seems absurd to me.
Admittedly, my scope is not of the highest ...
