For reliable and efficient system verification and debug of DDR3/DDR4 memory designs, comprehensive compliance test and analysis tools are required. While measurement capability and usability are critical to speed up the verification and debug process, it is equally important to choose the right probing solution and use...

Modern power distribution systems often contain multiple power sources integrated within one system. A simple variant may be the common double-ended substation, which can be further complicated by additional emergency or alternate sources. This presents significant complexity to the designer attempting to design a protection...

A transition to 400 VDC in power distribution and conversion will help meet greenhouse gas, efficiency, and renewable-energy goals.
The pressure throughout the energy supply chain to deliver electrical power more efficiently is intense and growing. Most dramatically, the European Union’s response to the Copenhagen...
Whether you are a consultant designing a new cabling infrastructure for a new costumer or an IT manager who is tasked with designing a new datacenter, choosing the best cabling system for a premise LAN or a datacenter can be a daunting task. Fortunately, there are industry standards and best practices to help select and...
Using electrostatic technologies in supercapacitors rather than the electrochemical technology of battery cells provides another level of control and reliability for all kinds of power sub-systems, overcoming the limited lifetime of batteries, particularly in industrial and transportation applications.

Most engineers think of flat cable as inexpensive wiring that runs between computer peripherals. But not all flat cable is created the same. There is a special category of flat cable that excels in uses where space efficiency isn’t the only consideration. What’s called Extruded Flexx-Sil™ cable is designed...
The LGA80D from Artesyn Embedded Technologies is the first DC-DC converter module of its kind on the market. This innovative non-isolated unit offers two independent and configurable 40 amp, 100 watt outputs, which can also be combined to a single configurable 80 amp, 200 watt output. With a footprint of 1 x 0.5 inches...
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 device requires an inrush current that by far exceeds the normal operating current. To properly design the...
Medical electronic equipment is getting smaller. Of course, this could be said of all electronic equipment but it is in medical area that the pressure for size and weight reduction is greatest. Not only is the hospital bedside environment very space-constrained but there is a trend for more equipment to be used in the...
High-voltage power management ICs, such as TI’s LM5000 series of integrated controllers and regulators, can simplify the design of high-voltage power management solutions
This paper presents various application scenarios where high-voltage capability up to 100V is required and explains how high-voltage power...
Motor protection relays protect against damage and downtime caused by problems such as overcurrent, phase loss, voltage unbalance and more. Unlike old-fashioned overload relays, modern relays are intelligent electronic devices that can tell the operator which condition triggered a shutdown. This white paper covers the...
This paper introduces a new DC/DC power supply architecture, called “Yeaman Topology”. The main characteristic of this topology is to separate the output voltage regulation function from the bulk power conversion function, implementing two stages that share a common input, and have their outputs in series....
