Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

For an efficient design, the conductor ampacity tables in Chapter 3 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provide a starting point. But did the installation stay efficient over time? One way to ...

When clients call you because operating problems on pieces of their 120V equipment cause them to suspect their facility's power supply, you have to decide where to start your investigation. Don't ...

Power integrity is becoming a bigger problem at 10/7nm because existing tools such as static analysis no longer are sufficient. Power integrity is a function of static and dynamic voltage drop in the ...

Many of today's applications require current measurement for power estimation, regulation purposes, or for diagnostics. This article focuses on circuits with analog outputs that are needed for loop ...

Common traits of digital multimeters (DMMs). Classifying DMMs by their amount of digits. What role do digitizers play in making voltage measurements? Measuring voltage may be the most basic ...
