A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

Difficulties are associated with meeting the regulation needs of modern microprocessors during the very fast and large transient current changes they Difficulties are associated with meeting the ...

At a computer show years ago, my brother walked into a manufacturer's booth to look at a large disk-drive unit about the size of a large refrigerator. As he touched the case, the motor died and the ...

Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

Bourns, Inc announced availability of a line of Transient Blocking Unit (TBU) circuit protection devices that block transients using a current disconnecting mechanism rather than diverting or shunting ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

IT has been said by an eminent American engineer that whereas problems in transient phenomena can only be solved by the application of the calculus, the terrors which this branch of mathematics holds ...

Design engineers often give circuit protection only cursory attention. For example, fuses, diodes, and varistors are so well known that designers select them with ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...
