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

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:...

QoS in SD-WAN networks

QoS in SD-WAN networks

Citius, Altius, Fortius (“quicker, higher, stronger”), is the Olympic motto that pushes athletes to give their utmost while competing. With dozens, or even hundreds, of applications in fixed or mobile devices, all connected at the same time and competing for bandwidth, one might say the telecommunications sector is almost as competitive as the sports world. This competition grows when several...

Digital Transformation and Fiber Deployment in Europe

Digital Transformation and Fiber Deployment in Europe

The digital transformation in the decade between 2020 and 2030 is clearly a priority for EU authorities. Large public investments have been approved to help provide high-capacity communications networks and prepare for the wave of innovation from new Artificial Intelligence - AI technologies or immersive applications. Each EU country must dedicate 20% of the expenditure of its Recovery and...
