Digital input serializers (DIS), the heart of digital input modules, must operate in harsh industrial environments. Voltage and current transients caused by electrostatic discharge, switching of ...

Electrical and cyber vulnerability of EVs during charging. The two primary technologies for protecting EVs: isolators and current limiters. The four most relevant kinds of current limiters. Vehicle ...

Editor’s note: I am pleased to bring you another educational and informative commentary, this time by Eric Hackett, INT TRX Applications Engineer, Texas Instruments. File it away in your book of ...

As an introduction to the study of the curious effects produced initially when the switch is closed in an electric circuit due to its inductance and capacitance, we can recommend this book. Each type ...

Many vendors of industrial bus transceivers showcase their device robustness with a high immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In strong contrast to that, industrial system designers rank ESD as ...

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 ...

Electrical issues often hide behind subtle symptoms, requiring a detective-like approach to troubleshooting the equipment. High-speed power quality analyzers are essential for capturing transient ...

THE recent improvements in the design of cathode ray oscillographs have naturally led to an exploration of their use for the external photographic recording of recurrent electrical events and also ...

How optical isolation works. Source: B&B Electronics. Some of you may know that I moonlight as the guitar player in a hard-edged blues/rock band. Playing at the various clubs around town, I run into ...
