Metal holders with spring retainer arms can cause inadvertent charging or short circuits. Isolation of the battery jacket is required as well as the avoidance of burrs and/or sharp edges…
Medical diagnostics are a part of everyday life, whether going to the doctor for a routine physical and blood work or heading to the emergency room. Doctors rely on the…
This paper explains the different dimensions that are used to classify performance in flash storage. It will highlight the difference between crucial performance numbers and explain why these numbers should…
All electronic devices contain capacitive or inductive components that can cause a disproportionately high current while switching on the device.
From an FPGA to a drilling machine, virtually every component or…
A novel approach for providing microprocessor power directly from 48V is proposed. This solution enables high voltage, low current to be distributed throughout a system, minimizing distribution losses, while providing…
CircuitWorks® No-Clean Tacky Flux, part number CW8500, is a mildly activated rosin (RMA) no-clean tacky flux. Its formulation includes a unique rosin/resin blend coupled with a proprietary blend of activators…
Determining the stability of a system is a challenge in real world systems for specific situations. When the question of stability is asked for general situations, the determination is much…
Flash memory is commonly used to store firmware in embedded systems. Occasionally, the firmware stored in the Flash memory in some systems is accidentally corrupted, preventing the system from booting…
This white paper focuses on isolated digital interfaces conforming to RS-485, which continues to be the industry's workhorse standard for data transmission. The paper provides an overview of RS-485's common-mode…
There can be few more critical applications for power supplies in electronic equipment than in the field of medical electronics. Medical equipment will often have lives dependent upon its reliable…
