Good advice above.

Don't use BASIC, otherwise, as the fella said, you will be "crippled
for life".
But this is wrong. People can learn.

Before starting this, I would like to know if a single IC exists that

Hi,

I'm working on a project to construct a sine-wave inverter. The
switches on the output side are 4 IGBTs connected in H-Bridge
configuration. The IGBTs are right now driven by Mitsubishi M57962L
drivers. I've managed to acquire a microcontroller which gives the
required sine-wave PWM pulses at a switching frequency of 20kHz.

Now my problem is the interface the microcontroller to the IGBT
driver. How do i `split' the single PWM pulse in complementary pulses
to drive the high-side and low-side IGBTs??

I've heard there are ICs available that do the job. Someone suggested
UC3714. I've gone through the datasheet, and i feel its not the one
i'm looking for (or maybe i haven't understood the data properly?).

Can anyone suggest any solution??.
Yes, we already did. Why should we answer it again ?

CNN survey: Bush widens lead in Electoral College

The so-called CNN "survey" is NOT *scientific* and it is important to
understand this- it is not a quantifiable scientific survey of any kind-
it is a "hunch"-and the coincidence of agreement with their political
support makes this a FRAUDULENT excuse for a news report far in excess
of the fabricated CBS scandal. CNN CONCEALS this fact from the
inexperienced reader by quickly glossing over their source data by
citing unspecified polls, interviews with campaign officials- quoting
out of context, and interviews with un-named so-called political
analysts. Quite a lot HAND WAVING here! This is a DISGRACE to American
JOURNALISM.
Yeah, well, the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld cabal are a disgrace to American
Governance. What can we do about it, short of a suitcase in DC?

You assert that the Jewish population of USA is *INFORMED*. I presume
there is a corollary that the rest of the population, that doesn't
necessary share the Kerry preference is, by definition *UNINFORMED*?

That is a dangerous stance to take.

If the majority of the American population were informed, this fiasco
would never have happened in the first place.

I like to think of myself as "informed," but what I see is that neither
is fit to "run" the country, but it doesn't really matter, because the
sheeple will vote for bread and circuses, and appear not to care about
losing what America was supposed to be all about.

John: I have a CD here for an application called SmartDraw (for W95 *
W98). I can't remember it, and don't want to install it myself. But if
you want it, let me know.

Which 'John'? I have SmartDraw on a CD. It's similar to Visio in that
it's an element-based drawing app. I tried it and didn't like it any
more than Visio.

Now, if one of these element-based apps would do schematics with
ISO/European symbols instead of squiggly resistors, I might be tempted.
I could do schematics more easily on a BBC Micro (not terribly good-
looking, though) and far more easily (and good-looking) on an Acorn 5000
than I can on a PC.

If you can find the file, R. Steve Walz has a copy of Orcad III (or used to)
somewhere on his website.

It doesn't come with Euro symbols that I know of, although it might - but
it comes with a library compiler and decompiler, so it's trivially easy to
make new parts.

I've used it for actual work on several occasions, so I'm probably a pirate,
but I'm weak. (and also, apparently, a deadbeat.) ;-)

Good Luck!

No it didn't, because the command interpeter and file system stuff was
written in PL/M. And nobody got to see that. (A friend of mine tried).

You did get the BIOS in ASM.

Right.
I

such a background as this, makes the candidate have no realistic
chance of making any worthwhile contribution or comments on
technical physics matters.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily, but 0.00000000001% of a chance.

With these odds, even if every person on Earth had failed to obtain a
degree, the odds of one single person satisfying the conditions are less
than 1 in 1000.

Further, this incredibly low probability is purported to abruptly change
to a vastly larger probability upon receipt of a degree.
The reason for that is simplicity itself. It's just the good ol' boy

Sure.

Vin>----[ADC]---[ROM]---[DAC]--->cos(Vin)

The single IC is the ROM, a Read-Only-Memory with a cosine lookup
table burned into it.
