    Bulk current injection - Resonant frequency of ESD protection diode CAN bus

    https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/AND8253-D.PDF I was going through an application note by On Semi, System Level Surge Suppression Solutions for the CAN Bus -AND8253/D, where it says that the TVS diode's resonant frequency can be a design issue for high frequency EMI tests like BCI and...

    Capacitor in the circuit - Bypass capacitor

    I was trying to measure the supply current of a CAN transceiver during fault conditions, one thing which I noticed was that during CANH to GND(when the current consumption is supposed to be the highest), the current was kind of like a sine wave and going negative during '1' bit...

    Common mode choke parameters and split termination concept

    Low impedance for differential mode at 250kHz, right ? May I please know what you mean when you say "unless it were really bad". Could you please tell me what this parameter is and how should I consider it's impact in my application ?

    Common mode choke parameters and split termination concept

    1)I am trying to the understand the important parameters of a common mode choke that will be placed at the CANL and CANH lines of a transceiver.First parameter - Impedance as function of frequency - I'm looking up the impedance value at 500kHz in the graph, since my application data rate is...

    CAN transceiver interfacing to uC- resistors on RXD ,TXD lines

    could someone please tell me why series resistors are used on the TXD, RXD lines of a CAN transceiver while interfacing it with a microcontroller. I've read a few application notes where they suggest not using the series resistors since they would cause some delay, but a few others suggest using...

    Short

    Hi, I have a scenario where one end of the resistor in my circuit has 45V and the other end is short to Ground , the 45V end also dips drastically, but not fully to zero , why is this happening , there's also a capacitor involved , is the capacitor trying to avoid the change in voltage.

    Upper frequency limit of an oscillator

    Hi, I tried the values that you have mentioned in Ltspice. I'm not getting any oscillations, the output is a constant 0.7 V. The transistor that I'm using is BC846B.

    Upper frequency limit of an oscillator

    Actually I think my calculations are okay for now , but since both the sides are balanced , as soon as I start up , I am not getting oscillations in the simulation for a certain microseconds and then it starts oscillating. I just want to know how to calculate the base resistor value so that one...

    Upper frequency limit of an oscillator

    BC846B- NPN general purpose transistor. How do I determine if a certain transistor is suitable or not for 300kHz operation.

    Upper frequency limit of an oscillator

    But why assume gain as 100 ? And when I increase the collector resistor values , it doesn't work , no oscillation. If I increase Rc, Ic would decrease , in-turn Ib would decrease and hence the transistor stops switching on. This was my reasoning. Could you please explain where I'm wrong.

    Upper frequency limit of an oscillator

    If I decrease the resistance, there's no oscillation
