Tyco tutorials train electronics designers
Tyco Electronics has introduced a free web-based training programme aimed at designers of electronic and electrical equipment.
Circuit Protection University (CPU) provides a suite of practical, self-paced tutorials, from electrical basics to detailed descriptions of circuit-protection strategies.
The CPU site launch includes an overview of circuit-protection devices and tutorials on overcurrent and overvoltage protection techniques.
Additional courses in coordinated circuit protection and I/O port protection are scheduled for release next month.
The training programme includes real-world examples of circuit-protection solutions for consumer electronics, including: cell phones, batteries and charging systems; laptop computers and multimedia equipment; set-top boxes and high-speed communications equipment; automotive infotainment equipment and more.
The CPU virtual training programme utilises examples and analogies to explain how overcurrent and overvoltage protection devices help prevent injury, protect electrical equipment from damage and help maintain uninterrupted device performance.
Helpful resources include a glossary of terms and an overview of Tyco Electronics' circuit-protection products, as well as a knowledge-evaluation quiz at the end of each module.
