Technical Analysis Articles
Hall-Effect Current Sensor Selection: Isolation, Range, and Error Budget
Choose a Hall-effect current sensor by architecture, isolation, peak range, bandwidth, temperature error, mechanical tolerance, and the target control loop.
I2C Level Shifter Selection: Pull-Ups, Capacitance, and Bus Segmentation
Select an I2C level shifter by open-drain behavior, voltage domains, pull-up limits, bus capacitance, power-off states, and protocol fault handling.
RS-485 Transceiver Selection for Industrial Networks
Choose RS-485 transceivers by topology, data rate, fail-safe behavior, common-mode limits, isolation, and surge requirements for the complete industrial port.
TVS Diode Selection: Match Clamping Voltage to the Surge Waveform
Select TVS diodes by working voltage, clamping at the specified pulse current, waveform, temperature, and layout rather than a voltage or wattage label alone.
CAN FD Transceiver Selection: Data Rate, Wake-Up, and Pin Compatibility
Compare nonisolated CAN FD transceivers by exact suffix, timing, logic supply, wake behavior, and bus protection before approving a replacement.
Digital Isolator Selection: Working Voltage, CMTI, and Channel Direction
Select digital isolators by working voltage, transient immunity, channel direction, timing, and package evidence without confusing component and system ratings.
FRAM vs EEPROM for Industrial Data Logging: Endurance and Retention
Compare FRAM and EEPROM using a logging write budget, temperature-dependent retention, interface requirements, and a tested power-loss recovery design.
SPI NOR Flash Selection: Boot Compatibility Before Part Substitution
Select SPI NOR boot memory by voltage, commands, addressing, protection, and reset behavior, then validate each proposed alternate on the target board.
Transmission Control Unit Semiconductor Sourcing Guide
Source TCU MCUs, solenoid drivers, power, sensors, and network ICs using functional-safety requirements, thermal limits, validation effort, and lifecycle evidence.
TCXO, OCXO, and MEMS Oscillator Sourcing Guide
Select and source precision oscillators using frequency stability, phase noise, jitter, aging, holdover, output, qualification, and supply evidence.
