Radiation-Hardened (Rad-hard) Components: Design Essentials
Satellites use radiation-hardened components to withstand the harsh space environment Radiation-hardened (rad-hard) components are used in products that operate in radiation-rich environments, such as in space, nuclear facilities, high-altitude aviation, and medical radiation-based devices. Radiation damages electronics by generating charge buildup, corrupting data, or permanently degrading materials. When exposed to these radiation levels, standard electronic […]
Choosing Hall Effect Sensors for Your PCB Design
Linear hall effect sensor module Hall effect sensors detect magnetic fields based on the Hall effect, which occurs when a magnetic field perpendicular to a current-carrying conductor creates a voltage across it. This sensor converts magnetic fields into electrical signals that are used for proximity sensing, position detection, and measurement of current. Engineers developing automotive […]
