It is better to learn electrostatic discharge (ESD) from others
From the last post “Avoid the stew getting shocked out of you”, a tremendous amount of feedback was given. In continuing with basic electric fundamentals (I say this tongue in cheek), here is a video that teaches electrostatic discharge (ESD) basic principles through interactive learning. I was going to demonstrate these fundamental principles to this […]
New Online IBC Power Simulation Tool
Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) unveiled its new IBC Power Simulation tool, an industry-first online simulation capability that enables power system designers to interactively model the electrical and thermal performance of intermediate bus converters in application-specific operating conditions and thermal environments. Available to users via Vicor’s PowerBench™ online design center, the tool provides greater visibility into […]
