Bare element shunt resistors help lower thermal stress of PCBs
Current sensing for motor control applications often requires robust current handling and the lowest possible PCB temperatures. Unfortunately, high current or overload current handling typically means higher PCB temperatures. One cost-effective and popular solution to these requirements is a raised bare element sense resistor. The elevated bare element yields PCB temperatures of 30% to 40% […]
Common mode filter for automotive Ethernet reduces line-to-line capacitance
