Hello,
here is a picture of the voltages across the different components in my circuit. The purpose is to charge a pair of supercaps one at a time, first C1 then C2. At this point in the picture, C1 has just finished charging and i'm measuring the various voltages.
the sequence goes as follows:
initial state: V\(_{C1}\) = V\(_{C2}\) = 0
transistors Q1, Q2, and Q4 remain in the cutoff state.
1- A = LOW, B = HIGH (begin charging C1, current goes from p->r->v->z )
2- when C1 reaches 2.5v, A goes HIGH and B goes LOW (all Qs now in cutoff).
all voltage readings are made roughly at the moment of cutoff as C1 starts to discharge.
can someone help me with the arithmetic? i can't figure out these voltage readings.
thanx, louie
