We lost a phase at a place I used to live once, so I turned on a couple of electric stove burners to bridge some power from the live phase to the dead one, so I could run the lights on the dead phase (at reduced voltage, but enough to see by). > Would that AC bypass cap on the input not skew the input signal / add phase > shift depending on long sequences of 1s or 0s? What is its hidden purpose? It’s basically a feed-forward capacitor, giving extra current to turn the transistor on and off faster when the level changes. The rest of the time (your long sequences of 0s and 1s) it’s effectively out of circuit, and the base resistor provides enough drive to keep the transistor at its current state. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
