Hi guys,
I'm using the following PTC fuse to protect the Tiny Scarab board (and the PC you're plugging it in):

kristof-at-embeetle•1/18/24, 2:18 PM

kristof-at-embeetle•1/18/24, 2:18 PM

The part number is

kristof-at-embeetle•1/18/24, 2:19 PM

It's a PTC resettable fuse that can hold 500 mA. As per the USB standard, that should be fine. The PC should be able to deliver 500 mA on each USB port without damaging itself.

kristof-at-embeetle•1/18/24, 2:19 PM

However, I'm a bit worried about two things:

kristof-at-embeetle•1/18/24, 2:21 PM

1) The will trip only at 1A. In other words, the trip current is twice as high as the hold current. Isn't that a bit dangerous for the PC?

2) The has a R_min of . That looks okay. However, the is . The datasheet says: R 1max = Maximum resistance of device at 20°C measured one hour after tripping or reflow soldering of 260°C for 20 sec. Could this be a problem?

kristof-at-embeetle•1/18/24, 2:22 PM

PS: please feel free to suggest another PTC fuse with better characteristics

I'm not a hardware expert, but based on the specifications you provided for the 0402L050SL, it appears to be suitable for protecting the Tiny Scarab board and the PC .

Navadeep•1/18/24, 3:18 PM

Very nice! Welcome to DevHeads

Aditya thakekar•1/18/24, 5:33 PM

Poly switches are not completely reliable devices. If you need it to trip in between 500-1A.

Else for generic purposes these are apt.

Hi @HW-Leads and @Hardware Integration @Helper friends. I'm messing around with oscilloscopes for really the first time and trying to figure out how to address jitter in an I2C signal.

Any process of elimination or best practice checklists to go through as I start trying to clean it up? Thanks in advance.

Optimize

Select jitter - like rising or falling edge

Hi guys, i am a final year undergrad student, Interested in embedded software, and the worst thing to happen to me recently was that i found out after a good 3 days of frustration, that one should be careful while choosing power supply for their project, a 100mV ripple can mess up internal circuitry of your sensors and you will keep wondering why sensor is generating nonstop garbage data.
Verdict - avoid cheap chinese stuff

Yes, but even if you can't avoid it, atleast have a good output filter circuit in place
