User talk:Wtshymanski

This is a user talk page.

Hello,

I see that you removed my entry on loss-free resistors (twice!) but I don't understand why.

You wrote a comment that it is a "circuit theory gimmick", though the entry includes references to well cited papers that show real applications and implementations of this. In addition, Loss Free Resistors are taught at universities world-wide and are discussed at length at the standard textbook on the subject, which is also cited.

It seems to me that this is a valid encyclopedic entry on Wikipedia, and shouldn't be removed.

Thanks.132.68.245.117 (talk) 06:21, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Articles are about their subjects. Circuit theorists can come up with any arbitrary property they like for an element, but such theoretical concepts are too off-topic and confusing for a general purpose encyclopedia. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:48, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About the extended diode biasing

Wtshymanski,

IMO Thingmaker and SpinningSpark are right in Diode logic talk page. It seems the extended biasing (+12V instead +6V and -6V instead 0V) solves sooner the problems introduced by the relatively high pull-up and pull-down resistors than by the non-ideal diodes.

But real diodes can cause some interesting effects as follows. Thus, if we cascade a few diode ANDs, the logical 1 voltage will continuously increase above the nominal +6V voltage (+6.7V -> +7.4V -> 8.1V... for Si diodes); if we cascade a few diode ORs, the logical 0 voltage will continuously decrease below the nominal 0V (-0.7V -> -1.4V -> -2.1V...)
