On 6th July 2021, Amazon Pinpoint lowered the Transaction Per Second (TPS) sending limits to 1 TPS for campaigns and journeys. The new limit allows customer to execute slower sends through email, push and SMS channels. This will optimize delivery rates, and allow for easier testing and monitoring. A campaign is a messaging initiative that engages a specific audience segment with a single tailored message, while journeys are multi-step campaigns to guide a user through an experience with multiple messages.

Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems to work, according to my use of LTspice. But it needs a rather low value (100Ω) R1 resistor to pull against R2, the 330Ω resistor that turns on (via Q3) the p-channel mosfet represented by the capacitor. As the gate of a mosfet is essentially a …
