I guess we can understand why--a charge pump would generate less noise than a conventional switching regulator, lessening the need to keep a strictly known clock frequency, and they're not usually used for high loads (and lower load also means lower noise due to lower currents involved)

but the thing we're doing for work right now has a requirement that they all be synchronized, and the requirement comes from the sponsor, not anyone we know or can interact with directly

would be nice if there were charge pump controllers that could be synchronized to an external clock, but it doesn't look like they exist.

we skipped virtual boy here, that was intentional

idea: video game series that goes backward a console generation with each new release

so if the first game comes out on switch, the second would be on wii u, the third on wii, fourth on gamecube, fifth on n64, sixth on snes, and seventh on nes (which would have to be the last entry)

how do fast food hamburgers manage to always smell so good and taste so.... fast food

they're still useful because they're better than silicon mosfets in terms of having both high blocking voltage and high current capacity

now we have SiC mosfets that can replace IGBTs in most if not all applications, but they're still much more expensive and it's still a developing technology, they only became commercially viable about five to ten years ago
-F

IGBTs really suck for what they're used for

they're really slow and have really high on-state loss

every note is preceded by like 1 frame of noise, which gives a feeling of like, fingers rubbing against the string before it's properly plucked

apparently medieval people thought that peasants ate poor-quality food because 1) they preferred it and 2) high quality food would be literally poisonous to them

whee, classism

anyone else remember this game? one of those rare good licensed games, and had some unexpectedly excellent music
