Dual-channel digitizers provide synchronous 3.2 GS/sec, 12-bit sampling on each channel
A new dual-channel digitizer provides synchronous 3.2 GS/sec, 12-bit sampling on each channel. This means no data needs to be lost, even when the card is acquiring data with both channels running at their maximum sampling rate. The ultrafast bus allows all the data to be transferred directly to PC memory for storage, or even […]
Stamped-spring pin sockets handle BGA289 chip packages
A new socket addresses high-performance requirements for testing BGA289-packaged ICs.The contactor on the SBT-BGA-6577 socket is a stamped-spring pin with a 31-gm actuation force per ball and cycle life of 125,000 insertions. The self-inductance of the contactor is 0.88 nH, insertion loss is less than 1 dB at 15.7 GHz, and capacitance is 0.097 pF. […]

How to gauge LED flicker
A few years ago, back when ordinary LED bulbs still sold for north of $10 a piece, there was a great brouhaha about LED light flicker. Light flicker can certainly be dangerous. Sufficiently intense flicker at between 3 and 70 Hz can cause epileptic seizure in a small percentage of the population. And flicker that […]
