Growing concerns about energy efficiency have led to the development of electronics with higher power density. In grid-connected and industrial applications, such as AC motor control, uninterruptible ...

Engineers could avoid expensive redesigns by planning medical device testing early in development with expert guidance.

Hipot data? That is an oxymoron. A hipot test, also known as dielectric breakdown, is a simple test: Apply high voltage to the insulation barrier of the DUT and ensure there is no breakdown. It is a ...

Leakage current is one of the most stringent, yet telling, parameters of possible danger to patients or caregivers. It does not take much electric current flowing through the human body to cause harm.

Manufacturers of medical electrical equipment are required to test to the international electrical safety standard IEC 60601 Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirements for Safety, to ensure ...

Figure 1. Use the circuit in (a) to measure input bias current on the op amp’s noninverting input. Adding a loop amplifier in (b) keeps the op-amp stable for measurements on the inverting input. The ...
