Dude, you are without a doubt the strangest person in this group of Mensa wannabe misfits. In this group, that is quite a statement! My hat is off to you.

I think the strangest person is someone who went to a Mensa meeting more
than once

Absurd again. Bidenesque even. I have never insisted anything like
that. I\'m always happy to assist decent amateurs to understand things.

Hi,

by \"bad\" I mean the name is highly ambiguous.
Is \"design\" a noun or a verb round here ?

JL and others seem convinced it is a verb: \" to design \".
But it is every bit correct to think it\'s a noun: \" a design \" .
Lots of words can be nouns or verbs, or adjectives. English is funny
that way.

It is very hard to discuss anyone\'s design without seeing a schematic and this NG is non binary.
However it is easy to post links ( pdfs) to schematics found on the web, allowing discussion of them.

But that does not work out too well either:

1. Folk think they see flaws evident in a schem that does not exist in practice.

2. Others may consider a schem fine when a built version is in fact hopelessly flawed.

3. Folk like to make comments on a schem while barely understanding how it works or even what it does.
Too many issues are presented without much detail, or described
ambiguously. Interpreting a fuzzy word question is too much work...
there are too many possibilities.

Schematics are better.

But hard to make sense of if you don\'t know what the designer had in mind. Bitrex posted a .asc file which I eventually managed to cut and paste into LTSpice, and I got thrown by the fact that he wanted to generate two floating rails and didn\'t care where they sat vis-a-vis the driver ground.

I\'ll have to think a bit more about the circuit now I\'ve got a slightly better idea of what is it designed to do. What is was intended to do would be even better.

Make small voltage big with lower duty cycle than a boost and a
continuous input current, so you can regulate current on the input side.

Might be good for driving an LED string or something.

The boost has continuous input current in CCM too but its gain isn\'t so
good.

There is a fairly common syndrome, an electronics tech who can\'t
design and who thinks electronic design is magic, and hates the
magicians.

Your enthusiasm for finding design defects fits right in. It shows, to
you, that EEs are impractical equation-slinging airheads. When I
worked in Silicon Valley, the cultural differences were stark and
often funny. Engineers drove sports cars; techs drove pickups.
Engineers ate at restaurants, techs at strip clubs. Tribes.

I don\'t think that a good tech is dumb or anything; I respect her
skills. We can work together and create products. I want my techs to
consider that a problem could be a design defect, and come talk to us
about it. We *don\'t* want a test tech to, for example, replace an
opamp four times until the thing works. Finding bugs can be a friendly
rivalry, a sport.

We have a folder on a server, J:\\NEXT. Every product has a folder and
a file like PxxxAtoB.txt with other docs as needed. Anyone in the
company can add notes and suggestions for the next rev, and the test
people do roughly half.

The test people participate in new product design reviews too. They
always want more test points.

Nice double move, insulting the opponent and giving himself a boost by referring to himself as a \"magician\". A solid opening move. +2 Larkin

worked in Silicon Valley, the cultural differences were stark and
often funny. Engineers drove sports cars; techs drove pickups.
Engineers ate at restaurants, techs at strip clubs. Tribes.

The follow up move is weak at best and opens himself to attacks of elitism. +3 Larkin


I don\'t think that a good tech is dumb or anything; I respect her
skills. We can work together and create products. I want my techs to
consider that a problem could be a design defect, and come talk to us

opamp four times until the thing works. Finding bugs can be a friendly
rivalry, a sport.

Now he is heading into the territory of \"my way is best\". There\'s no shortage of Larkin\'s moves in this area, so he needs to watch out for the obvious countermoves. Still +3 Larkin


We have a folder on a server, J:\\NEXT. Every product has a folder and
a file like PxxxAtoB.txt with other docs as needed. Anyone in the
company can add notes and suggestions for the next rev, and the test
people do roughly half.

Continuing in the same vein is asking for counter attacks. Still +3 Larkin


The test people participate in new product design reviews too. They
always want more test points.

Here he continues with the same tired \"what I do is best\" pronouncement, but he adds a slight for a bit of variety. +4 Larkin

Will Phil be able to defend against these attacks or will he cower under his bench hurling profanities?

It\'s a pity that John Larkin doesn\'t know how to play this particular game.

Not a claim for which I\'ve seen an evidence here.

True, but irrelevant. John Larkin is just being rude again.
