Question-as-answer
Welcome to EE.SE! This area is reserved for answers to the question at the top of the page. If you have a new question, please use the "[Ask Question](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/ask)" button at the top of the page. You can include a [link to this question]() in yours if it helps provide context.
Comment-as-answer
Welcome to EE.SE! This area is reserved for answers to the question at the top of the page. To request clarification or critique a post, leave a comment below it - you can always comment on your own posts, and once you have sufficient [reputation](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/help/whats-reputation) you will be able to [comment on any post](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/comment). See also *[Why do I need 50 reputation to comment? What can I do instead?](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/214173)*
Answer-as-comment
If you're going to write an answer -- especially one that spans multiple comments -- please do it in the "Your Answer" section below.
Please do not answer the question in comments, as this bypasses the normal review process for answers, as [discussed in meta](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/117251)
Late answer
Welcome to EE.SE! We appreciate your participation, but your late answer to an old question does not add any new/useful information to what has already been said. Please take the time to browse the site, including our [guide for newcomers](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/tour) in order to get a better feel for how our question-and-answer system works.
Edit-as-answer
This area is reserved for answers. If you have additional information related to your question, use the "edit" button to add the information there.
Edit-as-question
If you have additional information related to your original question, use the "edit" button to add the information there. It was put "on hold" in order to allow you to improve it before people try to answer it. Do not create a duplicate question.
Plagiarism
Most of this answer was copied verbatim from [this web page]() without attribution. This is plagiarism, and we do not allow it here.
If you're going to steal [someone else's diagram]() instead of drawing your own, you need to [provide attribution](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/help/referencing). Otherwise, this is plagiarism, and we do not allow it here.
Reverse engineering/Modification/Repair
We discourage broad, open-ended questions relating to the reverse engineering, modification and/or repair of devices here on EE.SE because the answer(s) tend to become long strings of unrelated edits and/or comments. While this might help you with your immediate problems, it is of no value to the site overall. We DO allow certain questions about reverse engineering in which you explain in detail what you know about the circuit and then focus on a few points about which you still have doubts.
Welcome to EE.SE! This appears to be a reverse engineering, modification, or repair question. Please be aware that such questions must involve specific troubleshooting steps and demonstrate a good understanding of the underlying design of the device being discussed, so that you can ask specific, focused questions that can be answered concisely. Otherwise, the question is far too broad. More information can be found here: [Is asking how to fix a faulty circuit on topic?](http://meta.electronics.stackexchange.com/q/2478/11683).
Design review
We discourage broad, open-ended design review questions here on EE.SE, because the answer(s) tend to become long strings of unrelated edits and/or comments. While this might help you with your immediate problems, it is of no value to the site overall. We DO allow design review questions in which you explain your choices and then focus on a few points about which you still have doubts. To get a better feel of what is or is not acceptable, search for "design review" on the meta site.
Gibberish
I'm sorry, but this sequence of words does not make any sense. I can't tell whether you're commenting on something someone else said or asking a new question. Please get help from someone who knows more English.
Homework
Welcome to EE.SE! This appears to be a homework question. As such, you need to show us your work so far, and explain which part of the question you're having trouble with. For future reference: Homework questions on EE.SE enjoy/suffer a special treatment. We don't provide complete answers, we only provide hints or Socratic questions, and only when you have demonstrated sufficient effort of your own. Otherwise, we would be doing you a disservice, and getting swamped by homework questions at the same time. See also [here](http://meta.electronics.stackexchange.com/a/5120/7036).
Is it possible ...?
Welcome to EE.SE! Keep in mind that *"Is it possible ...?"* is a yes/no question. In this case, the answer is "Yes". If you're asking us to design it for you, that would be too broad. You would need to specify something about the level of performance you expect as well as what constraints you have on the implementation. What is your specific question?
What is the best ...?
Welcome to EE.SE! Keep in mind that questions about optimization (i.e., *"What is the best ...?"*) require a definition about what problem dimensions are to be optimized for your application, such as size, speed, energy consumption, user experience, etc. Since these can't be optimized all at once, you need to have a good idea of which ones are most important to you, and be able to articulate that clearly to us.
Spam
This is not the place to advertise goods or services.
Welcome to EE.SE! We appreciate your participation, but it appears that the primary intent of this post is to drive traffic to another website. This is a form of spam, and not allowed here.
You should be using downvotes, votes to close and/or comments to indicate poor questions, rather than raising moderator flags.
But if you just want to argue, you want room 12A, next door. ;-)

It's spelled "Thévenin" (Thévenin).
You need to provide an [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve), as well as explain exactly what the difference is between what you expect to happen and what actually happens.
Any conclusions reached should be edited back into the question and/or any answer(s).
The purpose of comments is to request clarification or point out errors so that the question can be improved. They are not for extended discussion, nor are they the place to write answers. Any conclusions reached should be edited back into the question and/or any answer(s).
