A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

Instant voltage transients are common in the power lines especially in places where machinery is operating. Inductive loads and high power transformers creates transients and spikes in the mains lines ...

Difficulties are associated with meeting the regulation needs of modern microprocessors during the very fast and large transient current changes they demand. This is particularly troublesome for ...

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 ...

Bourns, Inc announced availability of a line of Transient Blocking Unit (TBU) circuit protection devices that block transients using a current disconnecting mechanism rather than diverting or shunting ...

Electric utility engineers designing new transmission and distribution (T&D) systems and evaluating existing systems have relied on sophisticated software programs that can simulate transients. Now ...

Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

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 ...

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 ...
