How does a silicon temperature (temp) sensor IC actually measure temperature? These ICs take advantage of the basic temperature-dependent behavior of silicon PN junctions. If you have two PN junctions ...

Designers often want to measure the junction temperature of a DC switching power supply. Knowing a system’s junction temperature is an important and basic requirement from safety and failure mode and ...

The old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” cautions against tampering with something that performs reliably and regularly proves its worth. Arguably, this advice applies to the circuit design ...

We installed the new Ballistix modules in a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 motherboard, and set the XMP timings in the BIOS. Next we installed the MOD software in the Windows 7 Home Premium OS and proceeded to ...
