Hi All!
I have another (probably silly) question about this circuit:
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/~bschiett/impedance.png
I need to find out what the impedance at the IRIN1 net is, since
It will be connected to an A/D pin. I suppose I need to calculate
The equivalent series resistance of this circuit.
I measured the phototransistor to be 75K under dark conditions and
1K under light conditions.
What is the correct way to calculate the equivalent resistance?
I calculated the eq. resistance for the transistor and IR5:
Rd = RDark * IR5 / (RDark + IR5)
And
Rl = Rlight * IR5 / (Rlight + IR5)
And then for IR1 and IR9:
Re = IR1 * IR9 / (IR1 + IR9)
But then... There is a capacitor in there and that's where my
Knowledge of calculating equivalent resistances ends :-)
Thanks in advance,
Bert
