Measurements of Conducted EMI in the Manufacturing Environment
Answering the needs of managing EMI in actual use, this article provides hands-on guidance to specialists at the factories and elsewhere on measuring conducted EMI where it matters – in their environment. Anyone who knows how to use an oscilloscope can perform such measurements.
Fundamentals of Electrostatic Discharge – Part 6: ESD Standards
The electronics industry is continually shifting. Device density and technology is more complex. Electronics manufacturing is more heavily reliant on out‑sourcing. The ESD industry seems to have jumped into this swirling eddy headfirst. ESD control programs have mushroomed. Black has been replaced by green, blue and gold. Shielding bags dominate the warehouse. Ionizers exist along side wrist straps and ground cords. An early history of “smoke and mirrors,” magic and lofty claims of performance is rapidly and safely being relegated to the past.
