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 ...

Voltage Drop Calc gives line workers a tool to determine the proper wire size for an electrical circuit, based on the voltage drop and current carrying capacity of an electrical circuit. Available ...

When clients call you because operating problems on pieces of their 120V equipment cause them to suspect their facility's power supply, you have to decide where to start your investigation. Don't ...

Inevitably, industrial facilities are going to have 460VAC, 3-phase motor loads. And, of course, since voltage drop is considered mainly a performance issue, maximum voltage drop rules on a circuit ...

As VLSI technology scales to 90 nanometers and beyond, ASIC vendors increasingly see power grid integrity issues in their designs and in the field, for two primary reasons. First, deep-submicron ...

A quick calculation: To estimate a battery’s internal resistance, you can use a simple voltage-drop method when the open-circuit voltage, loaded voltage, and current draw are known. For example, if a ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Engineers make many tradeoffs when designing SoC’s to better meet design specifications. Power, Performance and Area (PPA) are the primary goals and all three impact the cost of the implementation.

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

For over three years, residents of Rajakilpakkam have been grappling with low-voltage problems. Their representations to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) seeking a solution have yielded no ...
