While almost every power-supply engineer intimately knows and understands the lab setup for measuring efficiency, there are many important nuances that must be considered when measuring the efficiency of a device with ultralow quiescent current (IQ). For a device that consumes less than 1 µA, the circuit’s...



It is apparent that many older specifcations for government and military security contacts were based around the misconception that Balanced Magnetic Switches (BMS) or Triple balanced reed switches provide the highest possible security. While it is true that BMS / Triple balanced reed devices do provide “better”...



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...



The simplicity of flat cable with its parallel conductor geometry eliminates many of the common sources of wiring errors and malfunction. Registration of the conductors is one - to - one with the terminating connector or board so that proper contact assignment is almost automatic.
The use of flat cable often...



5G is now and what’s next?
5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030.
