Clarified "break-down" per Andy's comments
|
| May 11, 2016 at 17:56 | comment | added | feetwet | @Andyaka - I was using "break-down" loosely, to include transient events that would ideally not occur, probably wouldn't show up in a simulation, but which do show up in practice. E.g., cheap power supplies that don't provide very smooth power, or even inadequate ESD countermeasures. If the most sensitive piece of the circuit can be wired to survive transient break-downs then often we want to just keep working rather than scoping, stress-testing, and re-engineering the circuit to perfection. | |
