The regular “Banana Skins” column was published in the EMC Journal, starting in January 1998.

ESD protection from epoxy-based floor coatings often falls short of applicable static control standards. A better understanding of the strengths and shortcomings of different epoxy materials is essential to minimize risks.

In this second part of a two-part article, we’ll discuss the use of radio modules to enable wireless connectivity of electronic and consumer products, and how to approach radio, EMC and safety regulatory approvals in the European Union for radio modules and equipment which contain radio modules.

Absolute Maximum Ratings (AMR) are typically listed on semiconductor product datasheets, warning that overstress results in physical damage, jeopardizing reliability.

TCAD simulation can identify ESD relevant effects and the internal operation of a device under ESD stress conditions that are not generally accessible through conventional measurement techniques. TCAD simulation can help to reduce IC and device design cycle times, resulting in the more timely introduction of innovative products to market.
