All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

So you have power circuit breakers at your facility, and they seem to be just fine, sitting there quietly doing their job. What you may not realize is that even though your circuit breakers are ...

Circuit models are the heart of worst-case circuit analysis (WCCA). For simulations to be valid, you must gather and vet models or create them yourself; you can't usually rely on the manufacturer's ...

Astronics released its next-generation circuit card diagnostic and test system, the PinPoint 3-PXIe (P3-PXIe). Combining more than 30 years of development of the PinPoint Circuit Card diagnostic ...

What is Non-Destructive Testing? Nondestructive testing is a means of evaluating a material or component’s superficial or interior defects or mechanical conditions without compromising the component ...

Testing for immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD), from cell phones to computers, is usually done with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. 1 But IEC61000-4-2 is purely a systems-level test spec, not a ...

Offshore is the new frontier in the search for renewable energy. The potential expansion target for North Sea in Europe is 300 GW by 2050. According to the European Commission, an estimated 240 GW to ...
