Sensing current by measuring voltage across a resistor is simple and elegant, but issues arise with the electrical interface, sizing and selection, and thermal/mechanical considerations
Usage increasing of higher frequencies for today’s power-conversion applications has designers looking at planar magnetics devices over traditional transformers What’s the difference between both?
Consists of a non-destructive optical inspection. Binoculars with magnification between 1x and 60x and with a relatively large and accessible field of view are employed for this purpose.
The aim of this process is to verify the conformity of the exterior of electrical, electronic and electromechanical components (EEE parts) with the acquisition document.
Incoming InspectionThe purpose of the incoming inspection is to identify potentially non-conforming parts, prior to placing the material in the inventory or moving it to the production flow. All parts and materials subject to receiving inspection are examined in accordance with customer purchase order requirements, drawings and standards, among others.
Capacitors are increasingly being recognized for having the potential to improve efficiency and power density. Read about ceramic technology guidelines for high power density circuits.
In this post are depicted some non-destructive technics to detect a potential quality/reliability issue on a EEE component and some others destructive to confirm and asses the preliminary findings
