E-A-R Specialty Composites has developed a systems approach to engineer noise control solutions that meet the requirements of today’s standby power generators. This white paper discusses both the step-by-step approach to develop noise, thermal and other improvements in power gen-set enclosure designs and the materials...
In recent years, ICT devices have become faster with higher capacities, and as such, an even higher cooling performance is being demanded of the cooling fans adopted in these devices. Also, from the aspect of energy conservation and environmental load reduction, there is a demand for even lower energy consumption in products...
There are currently two common approaches to PFC inrush current protection. Such protection caters only for the first instance of power application at the switching on of the AC power.
Faced with higher customer demand and expectations towards higher stability in power supply systems, a new concept is conceived that...
The trend in recent years for information and communications devices to have high performance and down - sizing has resulted in higher - density devices. This has created a demand for cooling fans to achieve higher cooling performance (air flow - static pressure characteristics) without changing in size.
Here Sank...
This paper compares Cypress‘ FleXO oscillator with the other main types of oscillators. It discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and typical applications of each type. FleXO offers several key benefits over other common types of timing solutions. FleXO‘s primarily targets telecommunications and networking...
Although nickel can be difficult to solder, wave or dip soldering just the PCB tails or cleaning the leads with Nickel Nu can greatly ease the solderability of nickel. Also, the use of through-pin Nylon holders that can withstand reflow and higher soldering temperatures aid in soldering nickel.
Unlike nickel,...
Fiber optic cable no longer stops at the base of the cell tower. As mobile communication network operators deploy advanced 3G and LTE/4G networks, many are pulling fiber right up the tower. Operators have found that fiber-to-the-antenna (FTTA) architectures offer a number of advantages over legacy coaxial systems, including...
Utilizing embedded microcontrollers for industrial applications requires special attention given the harsh and noisy environment. Going from a supply voltage as low as +1.5V or +3.3V to the +24V industrial world requires careful design decisions and dedicated solutions to achieve safe and reliable operation.
The following...
Trends and transformations in online multimedia distribution, mobile wireless and cloud computing require new approaches to Internet bandwidth optimization.
