I remember when I designed a power supply, I did not take into account a lot of things i.e in-rush current, PIV rating for Diodes, using a thermistor to initially limit that in rush current, bypass caps on the primary etc. BTW Dave, I wanted to suggest something to you that came to my mind while I kept up with ur power supply design: Can you do a tutorial on powering a power supply using a transformer not a lengthy one-just a 10 15 minute video on choosing a transformer with bridge rectification, smoothing cap (formula etc)-i assume your gonna get much more caught with the whole myth buster deal eh? The reason why I ask is that because I feel its a very fundamental thing that comes to mind when designing a power supply. I guess I have no alternative but to learn it.gotta present it in two weeks time. i feel like this should be a course offered at universities to handle this abomination Where am I going wrong but nothing is clicking right now between me and this software! Eagle had a tiny learning curve and I was up and working that software when I was in high school. I cant seem to figure out even the simple things of this software! Why is designing a custom foot print so hard in this.eh. I have to present this new software in our next design meeting with "positive" results.
Altium 10 editor colors how to#
Being a design engineer, its expected of me to 'just' know how to work a new PCB software. So now, along with continuing work on our current product design, I have to learn how to use altium!! I have been using eagle for some time and im very comfortable with it. As it turns out, its a PCB design software. Hello! So my boss comes in today and says: "here! this is the what I have for you!! Altium Designer 10".
