Understanding the technology behind heat pipes

Understanding the technology behind heat pipes

Heat pipes transfer heat on electronic devices & industrial applications, using the heat transition principle, to transfer to heat sinks within a cooling system. Heat pipes have clear advantages over other heat dissipation methods. What are heat pipes? Heat pipes are passive heat-transfer devices used to efficiently move heat from one location to another. They are commonly employed in...

The importance of sequencing power domains in electronics

There is a clear trend in the electronics industry for integration, allowing for more compact and efficient designs. More and more, electronics manufacturers are making their chips smaller, including more components within their chips and extending the feature range. This can be seen in highly integrated microcontrollers (with the introduction of SiP, System-in-Package), massive functionality...

Improving device reliability and redundancy

Improving device reliability and redundancy

In a previous article we looked at how to mathematically calculate the reliability of electronic equipment. That is, the probability of it working correctly for a given period of time. This is best characterised by the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), or its opposite, Failure In Time (FIT). MTBF values are often in the order of hundreds of thousands of hours for electronic equipment. Source:...

Device housing: “Different materials for different environments”

The growing need for, and use of, telecommunications devices means that we can now find them installed and providing services in all sorts environments and environmental scenarios. Telecommunications Devices Anywhere They are outdoors, withstanding inclement weather and widely oscillating temperatures throughout the day and year. They are in industrial environments, where they face demanding and...

Power electronics in telecommunication equipment

Power electronics in telecommunication equipment

The application of power electronics to communications devices has to do with the processing of the electrical input power using semiconductor devices and reactive elements. Thus, the raw input power is processed according to a control input that conditions the output power. This conditioning can be carried out by DC/DC converters - that convert the DC input voltage into another DC voltage with...

Styling IT products: Bringing added value through design

Styling IT products: Bringing added value through design

A carefully honed brand image is an inescapable premise for anyone who wants their product to standout in the market, particularly given the importance of design. The IT field is no exception to this. So how can we bring added value through styling? Every brand is well-aware of how important it is to provide services and solutions for existing needs, reduce manufacturing costs, advertise...
