Testing passive devices for thermals and noise effects

摘要

The use of passive devices in low-voltage applications is becoming increasingly common. For ex-ample, laptops and cell phones require batteries with ultra low internal (ionic) resistance. So manufacturers and users of passive components must now pay greater attention to the materials and processes used to build them, as well as new rules about using them in low-voltage applications, in order to pre-vent problems previously unseen.
