For an efficient design, the conductor ampacity tables in Chapter 3 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provide a starting point. But did the installation stay efficient over time? One way to ...

Many precision test-and-measurement and high-speed analog applications require an exact targeted voltage to be delivered to the device under test or intended load to accurately analyze the device.

Despite the widespread availability and use of low-power components, today’s printed circuit boards (PCBs) can require a significant amount of current, with boards drawing 50, 100, and even 200 A in ...

As Set-Top-Box(STB) SoC designs become extremely complex with multi-million gates, lowering of voltage supplies, and multiple clock domains including high and low frequencies, evaluating the ...

Total power lost due to chip leakage is an increasingly important IC parameter. One of the most common methods of reducing it is to use a multiple-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) cell to turn the power supply ...

Power integrity is becoming a bigger problem at 10/7nm because existing tools such as static analysis no longer are sufficient. Power integrity is a function of static and dynamic voltage drop in the ...
