Low-Cost and No-Cost Cooling Best Practices Provide Exceptional ROI for Small to Mid-Size Data Centers
Cooling tends to take a back seat to other concerns when server rooms and small to mid-size data centers are first built. As computing needs grow, increased heat production can compromise equipment performance and...
Lithium-ion batteries, like other battery types, are subject to a process of wear and tear during charging and discharging due to chemical changes.
Without battery balancing, the weakest cell in a multicell battery always determines the capacity of the entire system. However, since individual cells age differently,...
Industrial automation exists within a broader technological framework and has benefitted from advances in industrial networking and mobile computing. The combination of these technologies is helping to make the vision of concepts like the “Connected Factory”, “Industry 4.0” and the Industrial Internet...
Sanyo Denki has developed and commercialized the high static pressure fan “San Ace 60” 9HV type (hereinafter “new model”). This report introduces the details of this fan. This fan retains compatibility with the conventional model, including size and mounting holes, and it realizes the highest static...
This white paper will explore the optimization of PCB layout for an eGaN FET based point of load (POL) buck converter, comparing the conventional designs and proposing a new optimal layout to further reduce parasitics.
The optimal layout will provide improved efficiency, faster switching speeds, and reduced device...

This paper briefly describes how amorphous cores are made and describes a method of using SPIKE KILLER and AMOBEADS, small saturable inductors, to improve the recovery characteristics of a diode, which is a major source of output noise.
The manufacture of Toshiba amorphous cores is done by ultra-quenching, a process...
The intense vibration, moisture and generally harsh environments present in offroad and transportation applications demand components capable of withstanding such conditions. Connectors, in particular, must not merely tolerate these conditions, but they must also conform to DIN and other design/application specification...
Most NAND Flash based 2.5” SSDs have RAM caches for high IOPS, the contents of which take multiple write cycles (written to flash) to store safely. One of the disadvantages of this scheme is that the extra RAM memory and supercaps add to the physical space, cost and unreliability of the product (compared to Swissbit...
Engineers working on systems built using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies now have access to a huge range of sensor options. The available modalities have moved well beyond temperature and pressure to encompass sensors that can act as the eyes, ears and nose of the IoT.
Thanks to the connectivity made...
