The latest ASCE/SEI 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures standard contains some notable changes. “Structural engineers should be aware of significant ...
The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...
Several significant updates have been added to the new edition of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standards ASCE/SEI 7-16. The recently released ...
Load-board design is a critical part of any project that uses ATE to test integrated circuits. Load boards provide the interface between the ATE and the device under test (DUT). A properly designed ...
Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...
The design challenges for a high-power electronic load extend beyond the electronics. The best electronic load circuit will not function well without a good connection to the device under test. The ...
