Doomsday Plane’s Immunity to Electromagnetic Pulse Determined via RS105 Testing
The President’s $223 million doomsday plane is outfitted with an electromagnetic pulse shield to protect its 165,000 pounds of advanced electronics. Thermo-radiation shields also protect the plane in the event of a nuclear strike. The shield was tested by means of RS105 test method specified in MIL-STD-461F, which addresses the risk of radiated exposure to an EMP event. The … [Read more...]
100V Half-Bridge Gate Driver for Enhancement-Mode Gallium-Nitride Power FETs
National Semiconductor Corp.’s new 100V half-bridge gate driver is optimized for use with enhancement-mode Gallium-Nitride (GaN) power field-effect transistors (FETs) in high-voltage power converters. National’s new LM5113 is a highly-integrated, high-side and low-side GaN FET driver that reduces component count by 75 percent and shrinks printed circuit board (PCB) area by up … [Read more...]
