Software testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of applications. Two important testing approaches are component testing and end-to-end testing. Component testing focuses ...

Out-of-step protection is a critical component of modern power system protection schemes—its importance has grown ...

Novacap’s multilayer ceramic chip capacitors, which feature layers of palladium and silver, are designed to withstand thermal stress during assembly. Altering the layout of a printed circuit board ...

On any given day, a certain percentage of the plastic-encapsulated components passing through an assembly line is defective in some way. The defect is less likely to be a chip-level electrical flaw ...

System Component Count is often one of the larger determining factors in system reliability. Let's compare two designs — two done largely with discrete and one done with ICs. In the first version, the ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...

In space applications, high reliability and risk reduction are always two key considerations. While using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electrical, electronic and electromechanical (EEE) parts may ...
