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, ...

The basic ideas behind continuous testing and integration include: provide faster feedback to developers; build and test the system piece by piece to avoid big-bang integration and big failure; assess ...

Nothing is worse for a design team than a chip that fails to work in the bringup lab. Electrical problems are historically a major cause of such failures. Power leaks, power-ground DC paths, missing ...
