Measuring small resistance values is not trivial, but since 1861, when Lord Kelvin invented the Kelvin bridge, we at least have a solution for measuring very low DC resistances: the four-wire Kelvin connection. We measure the resistance by sending a known current through the resistor and measure the voltage drop using separate wires. Read on to learn more.
Over the years, I have presented to and worked with thousands of engineers, from very young to very old. Many of the problems they bring to me have a small set of common answers. I’ve collected these into 20 basic rules of engineering. Check out Eric's rules here.
Qorvo introduced a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) that expands the company's portfolio of products for rapid in-vehicle charging of phones, tablets and laptops. Qorvo's ACT4751M is the industry's first AEC-Q100 qualified step-down, voltage-regulator IC dedicated to USB Type-C fast charger applications.
Coilcraft has expanded its market for XEL Family of high-performance, molded power inductors to include three higher-voltage series: the XEL401xV, XEL4020V and XEL4030V. All three offer operating voltage ratings of 120 V, 50% higher than the standard versions.
Signal Integrity Journal, covering signal integrity, power integrity and EMC/EMI, has published its January 2020 issue. The January magazine is available in print (by subscription and at select SI/PI/EMI events) and is also available as a technical eBook.
Didn't get a chance to attend EDI CON Online in September? This SI/PI Technical Session presented by Steve Sandler covered the test bench setup to perform the measurements needed to characterize the predominant VRM noise paths. These measurements provided a roadmap to optimizing the VRM from a system level perspective, ensuring power integrity, while minimizing VRM noise that degrades performance of other system circuits.
