Time to talk about choosing the right semiconductors

Reliability, safety and operation under adverse and sometimes extreme conditions play a central role in train electronics. Railway systems operate in wide temperature ranges and are exposed to vibrations and shocks. The pantograph's up and down movement causes high-energy arcing, which leads to voltage spikes in the train's electrical system – a threat to any type of electronics
