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, ...

Testing and measuring an IC’s or circuit’s performance with regard to power transients is a tricky task to accomplish without some specialized equipment. Not only does the input voltage source need to ...

Difficulties are associated with meeting the regulation needs of modern microprocessors during the very fast and large transient current changes they demand. This is particularly troublesome for ...

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 ...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection for always-on 4V to 72V electronics in ...

Electric utility engineers designing new transmission and distribution (T&D) systems and evaluating existing systems have relied on sophisticated software programs that can simulate transients. Now ...

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 ...

When determining whether an IC is safe from random hardware faults, applying safety metrics such as PMHF, SPFM, and LFM, engineers must analyze both transient and permanent faults. This paper ...

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 ...
