Smoke Analysis
Abstract
Abstract
Smoke analysis gives an indication as to whether components are operating within manufacturer's absolute maximum ratings. Components that are continually operating close to maximum ratings can result in electrical and thermal stress leading to premature component failure. To provide for a margin of safety, manufacturer's maximum operating conditions can be derated to provide safe operating limits for components.
