Thank you. I am very happy they are interested to come and share their knowledge.

Thank you. Working on it ....

Active BmS. Do not do stupid Resistance Bms! 48v at 5a charge 1 of 12 cells...44x5="200wats losses OFF " desapathion,(sorry for doggy English)

Agreed, this would be helpful. Maybe a series on different BMS applications, for small power, for low cost, etc

If U are not skillful at multiphase BUCK topology, U can buy 10 A BUCKs for 5 €, for 4S LFP U need 3, for 8S LFP U need 7, etc. connect to ESP32 driver, or use 8, 3.3 V relays 10 A / 30 V max., and U have cheap 10 AMPS active balancer. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbZpaaZ9tc-dhYk.html

Thank you. On my todo list

Heat sinking.

It's not there mainly to slow the charge of the bootstrap capacitor but to slow its discharge(the current that turns on the upper fet), since in integrated FETs designs you can't place a gate resistor.

It means that the component is not to be placed, sometimes you leave the footprint in the design just in case you found a problem during the validation stage of the design that requires extra components.

It's not faulty. The 2 MOSDETs are never on at the same time. That's why the gate driver has to be strong enough, else it doesn't switch fast enough and both could be half on

@@bene5431 In practice they can be, due to faulty driver, dust, EMP, whatever. Same defect is observed in some UPS, namely "smart-ups" series by APC. The difference is that there are even more faulty logic - they are connected in series, and with a common control line.

@@trevoro.9731 I think you didn't watch the video

@@bene5431 I mentioned the preview part, not the video itself. The preview is not the "correct" one.

While I see your point, I kind of like that Robert doesn't pretend to be an expert and asks clarifying questions. Then you don't get to the end of the presentation and have a piece of missing understanding critical for 90% of the previous content.

@@tinfever I agree, I watch all of his videos and have bought some of his excellent courses . I was really suggesting batch mode , where the presenter goes through one or two slides and then clarification questions are asked about only the two slides presented , rather than a whole bunch of random questions which require the presenter to jump to many different slides in the deck. A good example is him asking “ what are all the puns on the data sheet” rather than waiting for top level overview first . These are not criticisms but just one viewers perspective and opinion.

Oh, I never know what I am going to ask - that is why we jump around websites, datasheets, powerpoint, .... We only use "presentation" as our guide and visual aid. I always tell my guests do not create a real presentation. But yes, Carmen's power point was excellent.

@@RobertFeranec I hope my comment is taken in the spirit intended - not criticism - especially in the light of the huge contribution you have made to the electronic design community 👍

NO, we need more old-fashioned engineers instead of 20-year-old morons who can't even study.

@@nameredacted1242 I ABSOLUTLEY AGREE with you, but I was talking about technology. I have tried to teach both EE and programmers, and some of them are lazy entitled utter morons that think they know it all, and deserve $200k for being worthless ...AMAZING! There are still some gems out there that are truly willing, and do, put in the work and have the actual talent (most delude them selves to think they have) ...none of the good ones are leftist woke MORONS!

@@stevenbliss989 I am currently teaching as an adjunct. On average, not more than a third of the class is even worth talking to, but they serve the purpose of providing profit to the university. Furthermore, there is not more than one out of five students that show a promise of ever becoming an engineer in real life. I see it that the one-fifth is even worth it (my time, stress, the bullcrap of awful students complaining they are being taught too hard, and so on), because sure as heck the peanuts they pay me is NOT worth it.

@@nameredacted1242 I see we share the same frustration. Just before I retired, I pointed out to a junior I was trying to train to eventually replace me at how grateful he should be to be tutored by a master programmer because I had no such luxury and had to figure it all out myself while actually working for a living. That self entitled MORFON is now there on his own, fucking things up for that business ...it's a mad world! The globalists agenda is to turn everyone this way, destroy social responsibility, and create an easy to control sheep society, as theey move the whole world to an authoritarian tyranny run by the ultra evil narcistic POSs that really should be EXTERMINATED on sight for crimes against humanity, ...I weep for the future of the world.
