Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation’s new V6 high precision, cost-effective high voltage modules on a common platform include either AC or DC input, with analog or digital interface (RS232) capabilities. The V6 Series offers output voltages ranging from 500V to 30kV, and incorporates the high precision features of Spellman’s 600 Series (replacing the 602C, 603C, 605C … [Read more...]
Thermal Modeling and Testing for LEDs and Luminaires
Mentor Graphics Corp. has introduced the T3Ster (“trister”) thermal transient tester for LEDs, board-level LED arrays and luminaires. Together with the company’s FloTHERM thermal simulation tool based on computational flow dynamics (CFD), lighting designers can model and improve heat transfer through the LED, printed circuit board (PCB) or luminaire system during design and … [Read more...]
New Law Focuses on Rare Metals in Electronics
A provision on "conflict minerals" that was slipped into a 2010 financial reform law, the Dodd-Frank Act, will help educate American consumers on what is in their smart phones, computers and other electronics and where U.S. electronics manufacturers are getting those rare metals. In the jungles and mountains of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, armed groups have been … [Read more...]
Tiny Solar Cell Saves Money and Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory recently validated greater than 41 percent efficiency at a concentration of 1,000 suns for tiny cells made by Semprius. The energy conversion efficiency of a solar cell is the percentage of sunlight converted by the cell into electricity. Seed money from DOE, together with the experts at the NREL-based … [Read more...]
Carbon Nanotubes as Conductive Material for Through-Silicon Vias
A research team at Chalmers is working with carbon nanotubes as conductive material for through-silicon vias. Carbon nanotubes are going to be the most reliable of all conductive materials if it is possible to use them on a large scale. This is the opinion of Kjell Jeppsson, a member of the research team. The researchers have demonstrated that two chips can be vertically … [Read more...]
