Link doesn’t work,
***It’s getting old now that Exar updated their website.

and I wouldn’t trust it if you were the actual author.
***And yet, I’m a published author in this field. So maybe all your huffin’ and puffin’ about coal is as meaningless as it sounds.

Sorry, that’s the breaks, given what I have seen of you so far on this forum.
***Given what I’ve seen about you, I wouldn’t trust you because you’re as slimy as an eel.

Besides, if you really know your stuff, you would know that “power dissipation” is actually based on Joules,
***Since I do know my stuff, if I had published that the resistor was dissipating too much heat in Joules, my boss would have changed it to the industry standard of Watts. If you knew YOUR stuff, you’d know that.

since power without a defined delivery time, makes absolutely no sense.
***Perhaps you’ll get around to showing why DVMs have Watts on them as a measurement, but not Joules. But you won’t. Because you don’t know what you are talking about.

It is just expressed in degF/Watt dissipated, to make thermal calculations somewhat easier for the engineer.
***So then what is your problem? If someone says the sun rises in the morning, do you get all huffy and puffy about them not knowing the solar cycle? Basically, you just proved to the forum that you’re an incredible asshole.

kevmo do you recognize the number
1.6x10^19?

With at EE degree you should know it and its significance.

“***It’s getting old now that Exar updated their website.”

The whole website is broken, not just that link.

“***Given what I’ve seen about you, I wouldn’t trust you because you’re as slimy as an eel.”

No for the other engineers on this site, they know I am pretty much right.

“***Since I do know my stuff, if I had published that the resistor was dissipating too much heat in Joules, my boss would have changed it to the industry standard of Watts. If you knew YOUR stuff, you’d know that.”

It’s “engineers” like you who cause thermal issues in the field. You don’t even understand the basic concepts, you just “cook book” it, and hope you have low warranty returns. So typical of the laziness of many. Did you happen to work on the XBOX 360 by any chance?

If you don’t plan for the amount of thermal *energy* you are dumping into a system, your stuff will more than likely fail rapidly. Sorry you can’t see this, most UC engineers I know, are actually very smart. You give them a bad name.

“***Perhaps you’ll get around to showing why DVMs have Watts on them as a measurement, but not Joules. But you won’t. Because you don’t know what you are talking about.”

Ever heard of energy measurement devices like the Kill-A-Watt? There are much more advanced and accurate systems that can cover more than a 120VAC wall socket, but the idea is the same. Energy consumption measurement. And the company I work for uses the technology all the time to find out the effect of clock speeds in system power consumption.

Bet you didn’t know, that in a device as simple as a cellphone, we deal with energy consumption, not power consumption. It’s better to pull a large amount of current for very short duration and quickly finish a code segment or subroutine, than plod along at it at low current consumption in many cases. Why? Because though watts spike high, the overall energy pulled from the battery is actually lower.

Anybody who strictly judges their world from the concept of watts, vs. Joules would never figure this out. And they’d never be able to see beyond their basic DVM. And they’d sell cellphones that ran about 15m before needing a recharge, if even that.

That’s the real world, and has nothing to do with trains. Interesting to see with your vast ignorant ramblings how you will attack that. I know these as facts, not as some pie in the sky that evidently you deal with, with your peers.

“***So then what is your problem? If someone says the sun rises in the morning, do you get all huffy and puffy about them not knowing the solar cycle? Basically, you just proved to the forum that you’re an incredible asshole.”

More name calling, love it! Ignorance demonstrated, proven, measured and confirmed! Topped off with some name calling to cement my position :)
