Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

Measuring the actual collector-emitter breakdown voltage is practically impossible without destroying the device. Therefore, BVCES is the collector-emitter voltage at which no more than the specified ...

V (BR)DSS (sometimes called BVDSS) is the drain-source voltage at which no more than the specified drain current will flow at the specified temperature and with zero gate-source voltage. This tracks ...

Many vendors of industrial bus transceivers showcase their device robustness with a high immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In strong contrast to that, industrial system designers rank ESD as ...
