At one time a relatively infrequent occurrence, voltage drop is now a major impediment to reliability at advanced nodes. Decades ago, voltage drop was only an issue for very large and high-speed ...

As a fundamental concept of electronic design, voltage drop ranks highly as one to understand well. I particularly appreciate when industry folks come up with creative ways to get the point across.

Series voltage drop is the progressive loss of voltage that occurs when feeding a string of parallel-connected loads. It's of particular concern when feeding a string of roadway, walkway, or parking ...

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 ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

In the first part of this electrical troubleshooting series, we discussed how a consistent approach to electrical troubleshooting can help HVAC technicians get a comprehensive assessment of what is ...

What type of equipment is best to use for low-voltage test of battery cells? What is an electronic load, and how does it work? How to overcome a major limitation with the low-voltage-discharge test.
