Wow, even though you are updating these so often, it is so hard to wait for the next one. I am learning a ton from you. Thanks.

Dave, I have seen many of your tutorials/reviews . They have been really good. This PWM stuff however, blew my mind away! This was seriously impressive :O
I am going to build this PWM set up and test it out. Any recommendations on the op amp?
-
Love it!! you are awesome!!
-
nice set of videos! what would you recommend using to power your power supply? ;)
-
Finally had a chance to catch up on the power supply vids! Keep up the good work, love learning from them!

Shouldn't the resolution be Vref / ((2^n)-1)?

Can't wait for the rest! :D

Playing along at home. Using a TL072 and a N-MOSFET, I made up a linear regulator in place of the LT3080. Then I did a little bit of math. Since the whole system is a series circuit, the regulator is a resistor to drop the voltage. Also since it's a series circuit, the current is the same everywhere. I set the supply for 1v, and used a 1 ohm load. Using a 30v supply, I needed to drop 29v at 1A. So I was wasting 29W of heat to supply 1W to the load..! That's about 3.5% efficient..!

@Microman171 Yes, that's how all linear PSU work.
