Modern industrial, commercial, and residential life depend on the availability of electricity. The electricity supplied must be at a level of quality to facilitate efficient performance of today’s sensitive electronic equipment.
Our dependence on electricity and the prevalence of more and more sensitive electronics...
This article examines how to synchronize multiple DC/DC buck regulators in a Master/Slave configuration using phase shift time delay. Phase shifting multiple converters prevents ON time overlapping and reduces RMS current, ripple and input capacitor requirements, which will improve system EMI and power efficiency. This...
As more and more devices are added to the plant floor, secure and reliable signal connections are of absolute importance. Devices today must handle a wide variety of functions and include features that will ensure cost-efficiency, reliability, and safe operation. Based on customer comments and surveys, this article identifies...
Bus bridging, interfacing and control are common functions in many electronic systems. The use of these functions spans virtually every end market segment, including automotive, consumer, communications, computing, industrial and military.
In many cases, designers turn to programmable logic devices, either low-capacity...
As part of the growing need for cybersecurity, the types of malwares and viruses that have been designed to attack SCADA systems (such as Stuxnet and Flame) will be examined.
To address the need to secure our critical control systems, this paper will discuss the latest standards, regulations, and guidelines that can...
Energy Harvesting (EH) is the process of electronically capturing and accumulating energy from a variety of energy sources deemed wasted or otherwise said to be unusable for any practical purpose. Energy harvesting, or energy scavenging as the process is sometimes referred to, is associated with capturing residual energy...
Portescap introduces the new 22ECS brushless motor designed specifically for high speed applications. The 22ECS has been optimized to be one of the most advanced and highest performing brushless slotless motors in its class. The 22ECS offers exceptional efficiency and runs up to 30% cooler than similar motors at speeds...
There are generally two different methods used to protect the pressure transmitter and/or the pressure switch from high temperatures. These two proven methods are done through the use of cooling elements and standoff piping. Provided below are guidelines on how to protect the pressure devices from extreme temperatures...
Describes the black hole phenomenon and how the BroadView Instrumentation Software Suite leverages Broadcom silicon features and detects black-holed packets in real time.
BroadView Instrumentation Software Suite enables advanced network analytics in a platform-agnostic manner. The software suite consists of the BroadView...
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...
All electronic devices contain capacitive or inductive components that can cause a disproportionately high current while switching on the device.
From an FPGA to a drilling machine, virtually every component or device requires an inrush current that by far exceeds the normal operating current. To properly design the...
A growing market spurs innovation and this JAE white paper focuses on one such innovation in the energy storage systems market: next-generation battery connectors.
In this white paper JAE compares oldstyle battery connectors to today’s newest components –connectors specifically developed for use with...
This paper will examine the key packaging challenges in the fabrication of a 1000x1000 OXC, using MOEMS (micro-optical-electromechanical-systems) mirrors in 2N configurations.
It will describe how wafer-scale-integration (WSI) allowed for much greater simplification of the overall system and creation of the first...
Voltage controlled oscillators (VCO) are oscillators whose output frequency is controlled by means of an external tuning voltage, and they are used in a wide variety of electronic and RF applications. Different VCO design approaches yield different parameters and performance, and therefore it is important to measure or...
