In a modular electronic system, especially when it is integrated into a chassis with several plug-in boards, the ground is often shared through the backplane. This common ground serves as the electrical reference for all the boards in the system. In theory, all boards are therefore at the same potential. In practice, especially in industrial…
Switching losses mainly occur during the turn-on and turn-off phases of power switching devices, when voltage and current are present at the same time. In modern power converters, these losses represent a significant share of the total energy dissipation. They strongly depend on the control strategy, especially on the switching signal shape and the voltage…
In the field of electronics, ensuring the reliability of components is a critical factor in product development. One of the most widely used models to describe the failure rate of electronic components over time is the bathtub curve. Understanding this curve allows engineers to implement strategies to reduce failure rates and enhance the lifespan of…
