As energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in the electronics industry, many efforts are made to reduce power consumption in standby mode, the most effective being, evidently, safe disconnection by means of a mechanical switch.
Reliable disconnection from the power supply must take place directly at the...
Micro ACTION PIN (MAP) connectors from Tyco Electronics have taken through-hole connector technology to a new level— significantly reducing hole diameters compared to previous designs, while retaining the assembly and operational advantages of press-fit connectors.
This paper briefly reviews the salient electrical...
Within the next 10 years, we will see remarkable change in the automotive industry. From improved engine efficiency to autonomous vehicles to electrification, innovation will begin in academic institutions around the world.

Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices
using the complete system impractical.
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently.
During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces...

In recent years tin-copper based solders with a variety of elemental additives have emerged which improve the overall properties and performance of tin-copper solders. These alternative SnCu based solders are not normally used in reflow soldering but are gaining use globally in wave and selective soldering operations. ...
The large variety of motor technologies and corresponding control schemes available today to the design engineer and the dramatic pressure to reduce development time in industrial projects have created the need for performant design tools which allow to realise, already at a level of preliminary simulation, the complete...
The design of AC/DC power supplies is inevitably evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It develops largely as a result of gradual improvements in semiconductors and passive component technologies and materials. Invariably, power supply design objectives involve not only meeting basic input and output specifications...
Over the years, Aavid have encountered many misconceptions, and have selected the 12 most common pitfalls for this white paper. It is their hope that, by sharing their expertise, you will avoid these mistakes and protect your designs with ‘just right’ circuit protection.

When designing links, SI engineers often begin with a specific connector platform and then modify system variables such as trace length, dielectric materials, and equalization settings to achieve acceptable performance.
This paper takes a different approach by setting various system and equalizer parameters to slightly...
Consumer appetite for high-speed mobile devices and services shows no sign of slowing. Smart phones and tablet computers are flying off retail shelves around the world, promising consumers high-speed data services.
The International Telecommunications Union reports that mobile broadband subscriptions reached 1.2 billion...
When undertaking machine safety activities, it is always important to have a clearly structured process to be used as a guideline. With such a process in place, it is easier to ensure consistent results that coincide with the EH&S goals of an organization. A well-conceived risk assessment process is the answer to many...
Unfortunately, due to inverters, actuators, semiconductor switches, relays and other electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources within vehicles, BMS are immersed in an electrically noisy environment that requires data communication links to have isolation and EMI suppression that can provide sufficient noise rejection....
