Thermal Camera

The difference between CCD and microbolometer thermal imaging

December 3, 2021 By David Herres Leave a Comment

CCDs and microbolometers

Most engineers are familiar with charge-coupled devices (CCDs) employed as image sensors. Pixels in a CCD sensor consist of P-doped metal-oxide semiconductor capacitors arranged in columns and rows to form an array. Light striking each pixel is converted to an electrical charge that varies according to the light intensity at that pixel. The CCD transfers […]

Test instruments that aid PCB repair tasks

June 20, 2019 By Lee Teschler 3 Comments

PCB testing

Basic tools such as DMMs and oscilloscopes may be the only test gear needed for small printed circuit board repairs, but it pays to know when automated systems would be a better choice. Alan Lowne | Saelig Co. Inc. PCBs are more complicated to repair today than even a few years ago. Manufacturing mistakes and […]

The difference between spontaneous emissions and stimulated emissions

February 21, 2019 By David Herres Leave a Comment

Image source: genteco

The terms spontaneous emission and stimulated emission sometimes get confused. The term thermal emission sometimes gets thrown into the mix as well. Here are the basic definitions to help sort things out and the procedures for measuring these parameters. When we speak of spontaneous or stimulated emissions we are referring to atoms whose electrons are […]

Infrared cameras for PCB development and diagnosis

June 18, 2018 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

Infrared cameras can help size up the surface temperatures of electronic components, PCBs, and other objects to reveal unseen problems.  ALAN J. LOWNE, SAELIG CO. INC. Thermal imagers, also called infrared cameras, capture a 2-D representation of objects in front of their germanium optics (ordinary optical glass impedes IR wavelengths). They present a visible version […]

Current Digital Issue

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
