A consortium of five Australian car-parts makers will collaborate over the next 15 months in the creation of a completely electric version of the Holden Commodore, a popular model made by a subsidiary of General Motors in Australia. Among other contributions, thermal specialist Air International will help keep the heat-generating electronics cool under pressure, electronics … [Read more...]
How to Choose a Voltage Reference
The question for any system designer is not whether he needs a voltage reference, but rather, which one? A voltage reference is simply that — a circuit or circuit element that provides a known potential for as long as the circuit requires it. This may be minutes, hours or years. If a product requires information about the world, such as battery voltage or current, power … [Read more...]
Researchers Developing Silver-Diamond Thermal Shim
Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute are developing a solid composite material, made of silver and diamond to cool small, powerful microelectronics used in defense systems. The diamonds provide the bulk of thermal conductivity, while the silver suspends the diamond particles within the composite and contributes to high thermal conductivity. The research is … [Read more...]
IP to the Pin a Major Trend in Software Technology
IP to the Pin is a software technology that will significantly influence automated test in the coming one to three years, according to National Instruments’ 2011 Automated Test Outlook, a view of key technologies and methodologies impacting the test and measurement industry. Sharing FPGA IP between design and test will dramatically shorten design verification/validation and … [Read more...]
Cooling Fans Work Harder when Contamination Accumulates on Circuit Boards
Contamination accumulated on electronic circuit boards will cause temperatures in electronics to rise, triggering cooling fans to work harder to keep the equipment below its operating temperature limit, according to a new research paper by 8 Solutions. Untreated contamination is costing the data centre industry millions of pounds each year, the authors say. The study, which … [Read more...]
