Under funding from NASA’s Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO), Leonardo DRS developed and flight-tested a six-band thermal sensor to demonstrate its potential utility as a low-cost space-bourne ...

Typical 3D thermal simulation of electronics components assumes that all the power consumption the data sheets define is dissipated in the semiconductor. In the case of high current power modules, ...

As the reality of true 3D IC design nears, engineering teams are keen to manage the heat between the stacked die in order to avoid catastrophic failures. Thermal modeling tops the roster of techniques ...

The drive for better efficiency in the power electronics industry has generated enormous gains in the last few years. The design of power semiconductors has improved, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium ...

To develop the sensor system, it is first necessary to gain an overview of the expected magnetic input signals. The starting points for this effort are the typical specifications of the encoder wheel, ...

Download this article in PDF format. The next generation of vehicles will generate, process, and communicate much more data than current vehicles. Wireless networking via mobile technologies (e.g., 5G ...
