Bimetallic Strip: Construction, Uses & Applications - EDN
Jul 27, 2020 · Introduction. According to Wikipedia, the basic invention of bimetallic strips comes from 18th-century clockmaker John Harris (1693-1776). Two strips of dissimilar metals are mechanically joined either by rivets or by being fused together along their length to form a structure that responds to changes of temperature by bending in a preferred direction.
Eye Diagram Basics: Reading, Analyzing and Applying
Dec 16, 2011 · How to read an eye diagram. A properly constructed eye should contain every possible bit sequence from simple alternate 1’s and 0’s to isolated 1’s after long runs of 0’s, and all other patterns that may show up weaknesses in the design.

Cross Sectional Area Of Wire: Formula & Calculation - EDN
Nov 15, 2016 · The reason it generally takes more circular mils per ampere for the heavier gauges is that wire circumference varies linearly versus the radius and diameter while the cross sectional area varies as the square of the radius and diameter.
Setup and Hold Time Equations and Formulas - EDN
Aug 10, 2012 · Setup and hold time equations. Let’s first define clock-to-Q delay (T clock-to-Q).In a positive edge triggered flip-flop, input signal is captured on the positive edge of the clock and corresponding output is generated after a small delay called the T clock-to-Q.The flip flop can only do the job correctly if the data at its input does not change for …
