Passive components makers are closely monitoring the impact of IC shortages on their actual shipments for notebook, server and automotive segments, so as to work out optimal materials procurement and ...

Austria Technologie & Sytemtechnik (AT&S), one of the world's biggest PCB and IC substrate makers, opened its first new IC substrate plant in Kulim, Malaysia, on January 24... Chinese power component ...

PCB flaws and errors that are usually hidden, or at least disguised, can introduce passive errors into IC performance. To understand how these errors occur, though, we must first examine the ...

When first learning about and building electronic circuits, the first things all of us come across are passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These have easily-understandable ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

For both active and passive devices, the negative of effects of thermal shock can be as detrimental as steady-state operation at extended temperatures. Ensuring system ruggedness and long-term ...
