MEP EP#377: Countdown to Hype
Component selection for your next product design is difficult as is with having to juggle temperature requirements, supply chain availability problems, and functionality parameters. Now consider your product in an environment that will actively destroy the semiconductors. This episode we dip our toes into Radiation exposure for electronics!
