Ever see the "Damn Fast Buffer Amplifier" or the "Black Hole Diode"? Not really mistakes, just datasheet humor.
That's pretty strange. It sounds like your computer has forgotten the association for .asc files. Go into My Computer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types and scroll down to ASC. If it exists, select it, click Change and pick Spice Simulator with Schematic Capture. If it doesn't exist, click New, type ASC, then click Change and pick Spice Simulator with Schematic Capture.Hi Ron,
Ever since I got LTspiceIV, when I click on an asc file, Windows says "Error, it is not a valid Win32 application". I must open LTspiceIV and let it open the file.
In my Windows Explorer, the symbol for .ASC files is a blue NPN. That will probably appear when you do the association, but what do I know?Also the unique symbols for asc files disappeared.
How do I fix it?
I liked the Darkness Emitting Arsenide Diode, "developed" by Bob Dobkin at National Semiconductor.And of course, the memorable "Write Only Memory" or WOM from Signetics.
Google that one, it is hilarious.
I'm amazed that it worked. I don't know WTF I'm doing when it comes to computers.Thanks, Ron.
ASC files were associated with LTspiceIV. I changed the association to Spice Simulator with Schematic Capture and now the files have the NPN symbol and open properly when I click on them.
And of course, there is the "rail to rail input".Hi Ron
What's the "rail to rail output"?
There are beyond-the-rails devices (inputs only, of course) available. The **broken link removed** is one such device. Here is how they work.And of course, there is the "rail to rail input".
Which means that the opamp's common mode input range goes almost all the way from the negative supply to almost all the way to the positive supply.
Actually, some opamps are optimized to go all the way from a few hundred millivolts BELOW the negative supply, to a few hundred millivolts ABOVE the positive supply. But NOT BOTH conditions simultaneously on THE SAME device.
Read the datasheet. It is your best friend.
You got your answer already, but I have to ask this: Do you Google?Hi Ron
