    ESD Strap

    Hi everyone, I haven't been out of the lab for development but my company does not have any more room there. This is definitely something that I should know BUT I don't! I am working in an office environment with carpets and a desk. I do have an ESD strap with an alligator clip, where should...

    Electromechancial Circuit Breakers

    I'm quoting from the following article: "It uses programmable SSPC devices in place of traditional electromechanical circuit breaker technology..." The link to the article is: http://www.flightdailynews.com/singapore2002/feb26/avionics/sepds.shtm Can someone please clarify this for me...

    Electromechancial Circuit Breakers

    I'm looking for information on electromechanical circuit breakers for commercial aircrafts. I spoke to an engineer and he mentioned something about a 3 pole circuit breaker for 3 phase circuit protection manufactured by Mechanical Products. The reason for this research is a report that I'm...

    Zigbee Wireless Standard

    Hi everyone, I was wondering whether anyone here has any experience working with the new Zigbee standard. According to some articles that I've read online, Zigbee only requires 10KB programming memory in the Microcontroller which indicates a relatively short and simple program. Is the...

    Low Bandwidth Application

    Hi everyone, I am doing a trade study on replacing the wires on the sensor network for a wireless sensor network. These sensors for example would measure pressure or temperature. I do not need a high-bandwidth standard. What do you recommend for my application. So far I have done some...

    Normalized On Resistance vs Static On Resistance

    IRStuff, I am doing tolerance analysis on internal signals, to see whether they fall within the Tolerance Boundaries. My supervisor only wants to me model the MOSFET as a resistor in Crystal Ball. So what do they mean by Normalized? I have tried to do an internet search, but can't find...

    Normalized On Resistance vs Static On Resistance

    Hi everyone, I have a question about a Power MOSFET that Engineers at my work place used in one of this designs. I am doing a tolerance analysis (STD DEV using Crystal Ball) on this unit, and I am puzzled by which On resistance I have to use in order to model the power MOSFET (IRF5210S). On...
