How easy are FPGA's to hook up and use use compared to traditional microcontrollers?
A brief explanation of why FPGA are a lot more complicated to setup and get working than microcontrollers.
A short video linking to several other FGPA videos.
NOTE: This is very old footage that was meant to be part of a series of videos on trying out some FPGA demo boards. It's been sitting around for too long, so I'm uploading all the footage I have now.

Part 7 of Microphone Technology with Doug Ford, former head designer at Rode Microphones.
This video Doug takes you through the design of the Rode NT3 and NT1000 microphone designs.
There is a ton of stuff in here:
Closed loop unity gain JFET and bipolar follow circuits.
Bootstrapping out miller capacitance.
JFET biasing.
How to eliminate expensive high value resistors.
How to add a bridged-T network to add marketing "pizazz" to a microphone.
How to stop oscillation in closed loop systems.
How to test and design closed loop systems for stability.
Dominate pole compensation.
Traps for young players in power amplifier stability.
How circuits with capacitive loads oscillate.
Emitter degeneration.
Parasitic inductances and their effects.
How to design a low noise and ultra high dynamic range valve based microphone preamplifier.
Microphone power supplies.
And how to design an amplified zener current source.

Dave hardware hacks the bandwidth and sample rate on the new Keysight 1000X Oscilloscope, turning his 100Mhz model into 200MHz in this Part 2 video.
And a look at some weird unintended modes along the way.
Will it work across all models?

Dave explains how to attach an SMD power transistor or regulator to a case to use as a heat sink in this design tutorial. And in the process talks about thermal design, the electrical/thermal analogy, and thermal vias.
This is Part 15 of the µSupply Power supply design series. Other videos are here:
