IEC Releases Standards for Semiconductor Interface for Human Body Communication

smart watchThe International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has published IEC 62779, standards for “Semiconductor devices – Semiconductor interface for human body communication.” Part 1 includes general requirements, while Part 2 is the characterization of interfacing performances. The first editions of Part 1 and Part 2 can be purchased on the IEC’s webstore.

Descriptions:

IEC 62779-1:2016 defines general requirements for a semiconductor interface used in human body communication. It includes general and functional specifications of the interface, as well as limiting values and its operating conditions.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.

IEC 62779-2:2016 defines a measurement method on electrical performances of an electrode that composes a semiconductor interface for human body communication. In the measurement method, a signal transmitter is electrically isolated from a signal receiver, so an isolation condition between the transmitter and receiver is maintained to accurately measure the electrode’s performances. This part includes general and functional specifications of the measurement method.”
