Power conversion circuits with control loop(s) are everywhere in electronic systems. We must establish stability and performance metrics for control loops and their circuits. However, generally accepted metrics may not be good enough. Is a crossover frequency with 45 degrees of phase margin and 10 dB of gain margin enough? How can we relate phase margin to peaking in the impedance profile and transient noise requirements? This article aims to answer these and other questions.
Hirose, the designer and manufacturer of connector solutions, has designed an intrafacility fiber cable (IFC) assembly system that supports bidirection optical transmission of 6.25Gbps and unidirection up to 12.5Gbps (6.25Gbps x 2ch). The high-speed BF4-IFC Series cable assembly integrates the BF4M Series active optical connector into a rugged circular shell with a superior push-pull design for quick and easy mating/unmating operation.
Samtec proudly supports the release of the new ANSI/VITA 74.0-2017 Small Form Factor Base Standard. VITA 74, also referred to as VNX, defines both the mechanical and electrical standards necessary for a small form factor (SFF) system. Designed for deployment in rugged environments, VNX systems provide rapid serial fabric interconnects in a plug-in module format.
