    Current mode with SG3524

    So what's the advantage to operating it this "current-mode" configuration.

    Current mode with SG3524

    Define "current mode operation". Does that mean a constant-current output, or something else?

    Opto isolated feedback: Opto pulls down COMP

    Sorry, but that makes little sense to me. The opto doen't normally affect how the converter is regulated, it just provides isolation.

    Opto isolated feedback: Opto pulls down COMP

    It make work with (-) input grounded, but that violates the input voltage limits. 1715693061 When the device is regulating the output, both inputs are at (nearly) the same voltage.

    Should the analog switch connection be before or after?

    At the output, since the small amount of switching noise injected into the signal by the switch, will be X100 times less in relation to the signal amplitude.

    Opto isolated feedback: Opto pulls down COMP

    It's not "poor". Because that's all it needs to have for normal operation. The 5V reference voltage is normally connected to a divide-by-two resistor pair to give a 2.5V reference at one input. The other input then has a divider from the output to generate 2.5V at the desired regulated voltage...

    This article should help.

    [SOLVED] Pulse Generator Without Using NE555

    Look at how the 555 PWM circuits vary the duty-cycle with a pot.

    Noise when pwm to H-bridge

    Does this noise cause a problem? If not, then why are you concerned?

    a high side load switch made from n channel and p channel mosfet working principle

    R1 keeps Q1 turned off if the input is open. R2 pulls the Vgs of Q2 to 0V to turn it off when Q1 is off.

    analog intuition regarding regulating circuit

    The TL431 is a programmable shunt regulator (rather like a programmable Zener). It starts to conduct current, cathode-to-anode, when the voltage at it REF pin (junction of R2 and R3 in your circuit) goes above 2.5V. When it conducts, then it sinks current from R1, thus reducing to base current...

    Op amp as comparator - can't figure this out

    A low-cost (<U$2), rail-rail I/O general-purpose CMOS op amp with very good specs is the TLV915x, where x is 1 (single), 2(dual), or 4(quad). It has an offset voltage of 125µV, 4.5MHz GBW, 10.5nV/√Hz noise, and 20V/µs slew-rate.

    SCR/ Thyristor Gate driver

    Below is the LTspice sim of an example commutation circuit that uses a pulse from a second SCR (U2) to turn off U1:

    CMOS input opamp doesnt need equal value input resistors

    Agreed. All it will do is increase the thermal noise at the input.

    Op amp as comparator - can't figure this out

    R3 may have a lower resistance value than shown. It's not needed so you could remove it.
