Alternative calculation method will improve thermal analysis of LEDs
May 17, 2013
Up until now, thermal analysis of white LEDs has been an imperfect science. Too often LED lamp and luminaire manufacturers rely on insufficient, inaccurate or intangible data to determine the thermal performance of the LEDs in their applications, and, as a result, may over-engineer their heat sink design. ...

High Voltage Surge Stoppers Ensure Reliable Operation During Power Surges

In automotive, industrial and avionic applications, high voltage power supply spikes with durations ranging from a few microseconds to hundreds of milliseconds are commonly encountered. The electronics within these systems must not only survive transient voltage spikes, but in many cases also operate reliably throughout the event. In systems where power is distributed over long wires, severe transients are generated by load steps (abrupt changes in load current).
