Testing and measuring an IC’s or circuit’s performance with regard to power transients is a tricky task to accomplish without some specialized equipment. Not only does the input voltage source need to ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

When determining whether an IC is safe from random hardware faults, applying safety metrics such as PMHF, SPFM, and LFM, engineers must analyze both transient and permanent faults. This paper ...

At a computer show years ago, my brother walked into a manufacturer's booth to look at a large disk-drive unit about the size of a large refrigerator. As he touched the case, the motor died and the ...

With the 2020 revision of the NEC, Art. 242 replaced two individual Articles that appeared in earlier editions of the Code — Art. 280 [Surge Arrestors] and Art. 285 [Transient Voltage Surge ...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection for always-on 4V to 72V electronics in ...

IT has been said by an eminent American engineer that whereas problems in transient phenomena can only be solved by the application of the calculus, the terrors which this branch of mathematics holds ...
