When it comes to testing, a lot of effort is spent selecting the “right” testing tool. However, often this effort is expended for a second-class goal. Certainly, you need a tool that works for you, your development environment, your project, and your process. However, what is paramount for good testing is not...

Many moderate size Programmable Logic Device (PLD) designs, especially those in control plane applications, consist of a number of interfaces interconnected via an onchip bus to a microprocessor that may be on- or off-chip. Although each interface is often relatively simple, the task of building all the on-chip interconnections...

Aerosol cleaning introduces a continuous supply of clean, or virgin, solvent throughout the entire cleaning process. Aerosol cleaning prevents the introduction of new contaminants. While there are some obvious pros of aerosol cleaning, questions remain as to whether this method of benchtop cleaning can consistently and...

When transitioning from a traditional phone network to a voice over IP (VoIP) network, it is essential to recognize a key difference between the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and the private data network that will be called upon to take its place.
The PSTN is connected to a massive battery array that allows...

When an electrically-driven machine starts, it may require very high current from the power supply for a short period of time. The result of this current is often an unacceptable voltage drop due to impedance in the power supply network.
This voltage drop may result in the malfunction of other equipment that is connected...

The fundamental process for making a tire hasn’t changed much in 50 years. The compounds, components, and automation used in executing the process have evolved; but the basic process of wrapping piles of rubber together and putting them in a press to get the finished product remains the same. Machine safety equipment,...

When considering gate drive requirements, the three most important parameters for eGaN FETs are (1) the maximum allowable gate voltage, (2) the gate threshold voltage, and (3) the “body diode” voltage drop.
eGaN FETs differ from their silicon counterparts because of their significantly faster switching...
