EMI Suppression

In this episode of Soft Magnetics, Hard Topics, Mike and Bridget answer common Ask the Advisor questions about Ferrite Snap-It™ products. Learn how to choose the right Snap-It™, how ferrite cores reduce EMI, and ways to secure ferrites to cables or housings.

Electrostatic discharge remains one of the most unpredictable threats in electronics design. This article uncovers how ESD simulators expose hidden vulnerabilities, reveals the most common compliance‑testing failures, and shares practical, engineering‑focused strategies to build products that can survive real‑world shocks and stay reliably in the field.

Discover how PCB layout choices can dramatically alter S‑parameter measurements of high‑speed ESD protection devices—especially in the femtofarad range. Through 3D EM simulations and real‑world testing, this article reveals why accurate modeling and optimized test boards are essential for reliable high‑speed performance.
