Blood analyzers are indispensable instruments used in various branches of medicine. Competing manufacturers are pushing the technological limits to put out the smallest and most energysaving product that accelerates processing and minimizes the use of reagents. As the devices become smaller and more dense, the internal...
One of the fundamental decisions in the design of data centers, server rooms and network closets is which uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to use.
You cannot be certain that the power you receive from your local utility will be suitable for your equipment, or that it will always be available. And even when...
Digital signals and controls are in increasing demand in building management, telecommunications and networking applications. One of the main requirements is for intelligent microcontroller-based interfaces to be incorporated into the power supplies which drive the overall system.
An example of such an interface developed...
The focus of this article is to address the need to utilize the latest circuit protection technology available to increase the effi ciency of a battery powered remote panel deployed with a SCADA system. Before discussing the newest circuit breaker technology for SCADA systems, there needs to be a review of what a SCADA...
As consumers demand smaller, faster computer systems, OEM design engineers race to create systems with compact, more powerful microprocessors and chipsets. However, these compressed designs provide engineers with a new enemy…heat.
In minutes, densely packaged microprocessors or compact electronic systems can...
There is a current increasing trend in requests for Brushless DC motors for high speed applications. For instance, new impeller technology changed the way modern respirators are designed to be more compact and quieter. Such performance requires motors that rotate up to 50 to 60 Krpm, and are capable of delivering high...
The drive for smaller power supplies goes handin hand with a need for greater efficiency. There’ s a direct relationship here because the smaller the power unit, the smaller the area available for dissipating heat through conduction and convection. Through both measurement and calculation, XP Power has developed...
The roots of positive airways mechanical ventilation can be traced to WWII with the needs for pilots to breath at higher altitudes. Ventilation therapy then made accelerated progresses during the polio epidemic in the 50’s.
Today, mechanical ventilation is indicated when a patient's spontaneous ventilation...
Whether they be CPUs, micromicroprocessors or microcontrollers, microprocessors are an indispensable component in modern electronic system design. However, using mid-range microprocessors can cause some problems.
These challenges can easily be overcome with the use of FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays),...
In today’s data-driven, technology-dependent world, no organization – large or small – can afford the financial cost, customer frustration and business disruption caused by network downtime.
The good news is there are plenty of options for protecting your network. But with so many different...
This White Paper describes different trade-offs, design options, and implementation of a sub 1 dB low NF (~ 0.6 dB), high gain (> 20 dB), and very high linearity (> +34 dBm) two-stage LNA.
The SKY65040-360LF LNA maintains a very low NF up to 2.5 GHz and an excellent 3rd Order Output Intercept Point (OIP3). The...
Power-up control, general purpose I/O expansion, voltage level translation and interface bridging are common functions in telecom infrastructure, server and industrial applications. System designers are turning to the use of programmable logic devices (PLDs) to implement these functions in their designs due to the inherent...
Two key factors in maximizing power converter performance and successful power system design are thermal environment and heat management. Power densities are increasing faster than power converter efficiency; thus increased performance from thermal management solutions is required.
Products based on Vicor’s...
