The annual US-based Solar Power International (SPI) exhibition and conference historically generates a significant number of new product launches and can set new trends and directions for the ...

In previous issues, we have discussed troubleshooting input modules. In the examples, the output modules checked out OK. But what if they don't? As with input modules, output modules can be digital or ...

A standard reference thermoelectric module (SRTEM) for objectively measuring thermoelectric module performance has been ...

Enhanced module appearance and power output can be achieved by a smart cell interconnection technique Longi is employing in its Hi-MO5 module series. But as with all new technologies, there are ...

In industrial automation and process control applications, the analog output module transmits analog signals (voltage or current) that operate controls such as hydraulic actuators, solenoids, and ...

Point of Load (PoL) dc-dc converter modules provide regulated dc power to a wide variety of loads. PoLs are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, so their ability to provide common powering ...

Two trends in electronics show no signs of abating: The shift to portable and mobile products across multiple applications; and packing more and more features into each successive generation of ...

In our previous two issues, we discussed troubleshooting digital output modules. Troubleshooting analog modules is a bit more complicated, for two reasons: Analog modules aren't on/off, as digital ...
