Kelvin Measurement Explained: Why 4-Wire Sensing Is Essential for Milliohm and Micro-Ohm Precision

Kelvin Measurement Explained: Why 4-Wire Sensing Is Essential for Milliohm and Micro-Ohm Precision

Measuring milliohm resistance is not as simple as applying Ohm’s law. At this level, lead resistance and contact effects dominate the result. Kelvin (4-wire) measurement eliminates these errors and enables...

Signal Integrity Design Validation: Why PCB Structures Must Be Measured, Not Assumed

Signal Integrity Design Validation: Why PCB Structures Must Be Measured, Not Assumed

At GHz speeds, PCB traces are no longer passive wires — they define signal behavior. Here's how vector network analysis makes that visible, measurable, and fixable.

Wolfspeed Gen 4 SiC MOSFET at PCIM: 30–50% Less Turn-On Loss — But What Are You Actually Measuring?

    Wolfspeed Gen 4 SiC MOSFET at PCIM: 30–50% Less Turn-On Loss — But What Are You Actually Measuring?

    Gen 4 delivers 30–50% lower turn-on switching losses. That's the claim. At PCIM, Wolfspeed backed it with a live oscilloscope comparison — three devices, same loop, same conditions. Here's what...
