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, ...

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 ...

Instant voltage transients are common in the power lines especially in places where machinery is operating. Inductive loads and high power transformers creates transients and spikes in the mains lines ...

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 ...

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 ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...

Pinpointing the minimum and maximum transient noise bandwidth for a transient noise simulation is a non-trivial task. But ...

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 ...
