As semiconductor manufacturers introduce new wireline transmission devices built on smaller CMOS geometries, more circuit protection challenges are emerging. This article explores five frequently ...

This article is dedicated to Jim Williams who several years ago (2006) wrote an article in EDN regarding the need of a good lab apparatus to qualify the behavior of voltage regulators for compliance ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has established Korea's first national standards for the ...

Regardless of the system architecture, the circuit design, or the power levels involved, transient load current step testing is a critical aspect of power-system design, test, and verification.

SAE Transactions, Vol. 112, SECTION 7: JOURNAL OF PASSENGER CARS: ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS (2003), pp. 45-53 (9 pages) Power electronics is playing an increasingly important role in vehicle ...

In just milliseconds, a voltage surge can destroy valuable equipment or even bring an entire facility down; thus, protection against transient voltage spikes is important. Hard-wired transient ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

It’s normal to assume that there’s an easy way to relate the bandwidth of a power-supply control loop to its transient response—no good reference exists that defines this in simple terms. It seems ...

Damage from transient overvoltages is one of the leading causes of equipment failure. Although some pieces of equipment may come equipped with transient protection, others will need some form of ...

Middleton, Wisconsin, USA, November 5th 2008. LDS Test and Measurement today announced the launch of their latest integrated Data Acquisition System and transient recorder under the Nicolet brand, the ...
