Platinum Thin Film Resistor SPICE Models Sweep Temperatures in Service of IC Electronic Simulation

This article will describe a case of a general IC electronic design, including one central passive component temperature sensor, where a new precise model designed by the manufacturer brings added value to the application.

The Effect of Surface Oxidation on IHLP Inductor Performance and Reliability

Under certain environmental conditions such as high moisture and elevated temperatures or in the presence of ionic contamination, a slight amount of surface oxidation has been found to form on the surface of a small percentage of IHLP inductors.
