Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electronic equipment to function properly without interference from noise sources and without causing disturbances to other electronic equipment. This article will help the reader understand the modes of electrical noise propagation, how fields interact, and the methods of testing for EMC, helping to provide the basis for designing low-emissions, low-susceptibility electronic equipment.

This two-part article provides a detailed overview of hardware compliance issues applicable to mainframe and server computers and their subcomponents.

This article offers sources of compliance-related seminars, workshops, and other types of training.

This article describes a laboratory experiment that shows the impact of the decoupling capacitors and a PCB trace length on the signal integrity in a CMOS inverter circuit.

This column outlines the steps to consider when embedding ESD detection capabilities into your system and overall design flow.

ANSI Z535.4 is a standard developed by ANSI that relates specifically to product safety signs and labels.
