Voltage Drop Calc gives line workers a tool to determine the proper wire size for an electrical circuit, based on the voltage drop and current carrying capacity of an electrical circuit. Available ...

The recommended maximum total voltage drop on branch-circuit conductors is ____%. Article 210 outlines the requirements for branch circuits. Branch-circuit rating rules are covered in Part II of this ...

One of the most common methods of reducing power lost due to chip leakage is to use a multiple-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) cell as a switch to turn the power supply (or ground) off for inactive partitions ...

The NEC provides a recommendation on voltage drop for branch circuits in Informational Note No. 4 following 210.19(A). A similar recommendation for feeders exists in Informational Note No. 2 following ...

As VLSI technology scales to 90 nanometers and beyond, ASIC vendors increasingly see power grid integrity issues in their designs and in the field, for two primary reasons. First, deep-submicron ...

Engineers make many tradeoffs when designing SoC’s to better meet design specifications. Power, Performance and Area (PPA) are the primary goals and all three impact the cost of the implementation.

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today released two new single-phase single in-line bridge rectifiers in the GSIB-5S package with improved VF over previous-generation devices — down to 0.73 V at + 125 °C ...

Electrical snafus are among the most annoying problems with older cars. Unlike tires or bodywork, there's something about electrical systems that seems to baffle many car crafters. We could blame it ...

General Motor's CEO Dan Akerson was a speaker at Fortune's Brainstorm Green conference in Laguna Niguel, Calif on Tuesday, and he did not disappoint. At GM, "green" equals all things Volt, and that is ...
