    I am watching all of your videos, chronologically, from the beginning. Giving me so much nostalgia!
    You are the best electronics channel for me. So honest, so passionate, so authentic.
    Your stile and humour is unmatched, and your cat is amazing.
    My favourite videos are the ones in which you go back to basics.
    Since you have such a huge experience, your takes are always so rich and detailed, nicely explained, nicely drawn on paper, like good old times.
    I may suggest some cool and useful video ideas:
    - Video on DIY inductors, ferrite cores types and how to measure/calculate inductors and all the intuition.
    - Maybe the same with all the types of capacitors, their application, their construction, losses etc.
    - Video series on a DRSSTC, since you made the SSTC one! With all the experience on resonance circuits you may give the best interpretation of the coupling coefficient, frequency splitting, proper tuning, etc.
    - Video series on an even more bloody complex QCW DRSSTC! You would be able to simplify it so much. This would be the ultimate dream haha :D
    Keep it up man, you are a true inspiration.

    It takes about one quarter of a kilowatt hour to boil off (completely) a coke can full of water.
    Given this, when making a dummy load (many years ago) I soldered the load transistors to a coke can and filled the can with water. 😂It gave my co-workers great amusement, but it worked really well. Best to use devices with Tj_max = 175degC though.
    Of course, I had to use luminimum solder (Multicore "Alusol" - it's fantastic stuff, well worth buying a roll).

      Water has a very high heat capacity. More so, the latent heat of evaporation is aprox the same as heat needed to warm it from 0 to 100 Celsius. I was thinking of a heat sink that boils water away connected to a much larger reservoir of water that you have to replenish from time to time. This way you could dissipate large amounts of heat. I have to try it some time. :))

    I've taken a liking to the now quite popular Atorch DL24 electronic load and battery tester. It does everything you need to test the power supply or measure the capacity of virtually any battery. It's a relatively inexpensive toy and easy to upgrade. The software is really unlimited, only the MOSFET it comes with can't make such a P-loss.

    Last year I was inspired by your original design and made my own battery tested that I can also use as an constant current load (in this mode it doesn't turn off when the voltage drops).
    Mine is tho quite different. On the outside I have a rotary encoder instead of push buttons and my display is only 3 digits.
    On the inside is even more different. I used and arduino nano and lm358 op-amp. It doesn't have the offset null function but that's mostly okay bacause I feed the voltage of the shunt back to the arduino so I have an accurate measurement even if the current is not set properly. It's especially helpful at low voltages when the taster can't sinc the set current because I am using a darlington and the op-amp can't go to vcc.
    For the ADC voltage reference I use the built-in 1.1V reference so at full current I still get 9 bits of resolution (0.5V / 1.1V), which I think is plenty because the resolution of the PWM is only 8 bits.
    Another major difference is a 2nd transistor that I added in series to the collector of the first one, which follows the voltage of the battery and splits it in half between the 2 transistors so the dissipation is shared.
    I've found a very sensitive MOSFET on AliExpress, it's IRLB3034 (turns on at about 2V), I don't remember if it's specified for DC. I am using it as the 2nd transistor. I haven't used the tester much but looks like it works fine for now.

    I have enjoyed watching your video, nice job! I have two tips for you which will help you increase the accuracy of all 3 measurements of this device. Add 12pF load capacitors to your crystal and either use an opAmp for voltage and current measurement or decrease the impedance of your measuring circuits. Just trust me on these tips and if you want more details have look at application notes AVR127 and AN2648.

I know it seems a little contrived but if u did have that set up u could use the nfet in short pulses to measure the esr of the batteries. U could also use them with separate batteries. Lik u could have 2 bjt's 2 nfets and 2 small relays and u could do up to 4 batteries at a time with limitations

  • @NikiBretschneider
    @NikiBretschneider 7 місяців тому +1

    I don't like the way how P3 is set. In fact, these inputs are intended to (almost) ZERO the offset of that opamp, which is relatively easy to do. As long as it is biased and is controlled by a negative feedback, the voltage between In+ and In- is proportional to the offset. Zero multiplied by some constant is still zero, so if you set the P3 to obtain zero (or almost zero) voltage measured between In+ (3) and In- (2) pins, you have almost no offset on the opamp. Generally speaking, this is the way how the offset should be adjusted, but I don't think this would lead to any good result in this particular case, because (as far as I got it) P3 is intended to introduce some defined offset into that circuit to counteract the finite voltage swing of the PWM output, which introduces nonlinearity especially when the PWM pulse is short (this is downside of simple PWM implementation), leakage of C7 and who knows what else. This is definitely not a great idea due to introducing non linearity into whole system and it's also bad from the long term stability point of view.
    PC1 is something I definitely don't understand to. I accept that you need to somehow turn that load off. This is done by introducing relatively big positive voltage to inverting input of the opamp, which forces it into the negative saturation, but this could be easily done by PC5. Furthermore, if you share that ON/OFF pin with LED, the LED would feed at least some voltage to the inverting opamp input in the RESET state when GPIOs are in the HiZ state doing at least some protection. This is why sharing that pin with LED makes much more sense to me.
    The last thing. That clock crystal needs at least some adjustment, which is hard to do. There is no output that would be somehow tight to some GPIO. If you touch the crystal itself, you detune that thing, which means you need to use some near field probe to adjust that frequency, which is always tricky. It would be great idea to introduce something like a adjustment mode, which could be activated by pressing some key when that thing is turned on, just to give something like full scale to the PWM output and 1024Hz divided from the crystal oscillator to some GPIO just to ease adjusting XO frequency. In fact, this is easy to implement and it would help a lot to everyone, who builds this thing.

      It can sort of be used for 5 li-ion as it is, just at the beginning the voltage measurement will max out. But the termination voltage is within the range, so it will be able to measure the mAh correctly. Just the Wh energy will be a bit underestimated. And of course you have to use a transistor which will not suffer from a 2nd breakdown at 21V and whatever discharging current you use :).

    Why 32768 hz crystal? Is it critical? Can't discharge time be measured accurately without it? Let's say with 16Mhz crystal??
    Why not reduce the burden on the MOSFET & the size of the heatsink and just add a power resistor as dummy load in place of the fuse?
    Would you test with LM358 Opamp and IRFZ44N / IRLZ44N MOSFETS?
    Can we use dedicated voltage comparator ics like LM393 in place of OpAmps?

      ​​@@Pulverrostmannen yep, I understand, 2^15 it is...just use it with a 16bit timer counter and you will get 1s .

      @@অৰি well. I think working with 16mhz would introduce problems with capacitive interference and chip response along with inductance and that stuff I suppose. But if you know how to work with high frequencies there is often ways to go around the problems the higher frequencies comes with. I just think that 32768hz would be easier to work with than 16mhz in terms of parasitic interference at least

      Maybe, but the output voltage in high state is only 3V with no load (with a 5V supply). It might be too low for the mosfet gate. The 0.56V voltage drop on the shunt is subtracted from this, so the gate will get even less. If I really had to use this opamp, I'd probably connect the V+ before the 7805.

    Restrictions on the operation of MOSFETs in the linear region seems to come as a big rude shock to many.
    I suppose they thought "second breakdown" was a thing of the bipolar past.

    • @DiodeGoneWild
      @DiodeGoneWild  7 місяців тому +7

      Modern MOSFETs are optimised to be very fast, have low gate capacitance and charge, high transconductance... simply to spend as little time as possible in the linear region. They're mostly made for switching applications, not linear. But this makes them prone to hotspot creation. Having a high transconductance probably also leads to a high thermal coefficient - a hotter spot on the die will concentrate all the current in a small area and destroy it.
