Advanced power solutions are at the heart of the current electronics revolution. With all of the advances in areas such as microcontroller design and machine learning, among others, the advent of ...

Power-aware test is a major manufacturing consideration due to the problems of increased power dissipation in various test modes, as well as test implications that come up with the usage of various ...

Today’s high power semiconductor test applications are increasingly demanding, requiring test instrumentation capable of characterizing higher rated voltages and peak currents than ever before. Many ...

The industry’s insatiable need for power in high-performance computing (HPC) is creating problems for test cells, which need to deliver very high currents at very consistent voltage levels through the ...

SUMMARY OF PART ONE - Power handling limitations result from both thermal and mechanical issues. Power consumed by a loudspeaker is traditionally estimated by assuming the speakers resistance is ...

In the 1990s, experts calculated that without efforts to increase efficiencies and reduce “no-load” power consumption, external power supplies—the ones used to power everything from cell-phones to ...

Before we go forward and run some of the tests that we are going to see hereinafter, let us check a few of the symptoms to understand if those tests are worth doing. We have mentioned some symptoms ...

Manufacturers in the power semiconductor industry have been tackling challenges of performance, reliability, and lowering the cost of high-power devices for decades. More recently, boosting energy ...
