Design

In order to efficiently build a certifiable VTOL aircraft, lightning protection should be incorporated into the design from the beginning.

Design engineers integrate force sensors into medical devices to create smart tools that produce quantifiable data.

This article describes the MOV circuit design sequence for the AC mains port overvoltage protection of pluggable type A equipment.

The standards reviewed here have been developed to help ensure that ICT circuits will be adequately protected against surges, especially those due to lightning.

This brief article is intended for those who may be new to the field of compliance engineering and want a better understanding of process to design products that are immune to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. 

Scientists at the Australian National University have created a new tool to help detect defects or unwanted features in a variety of technology.

This article investigates the impedance of the three standard passive circuit components (R, L, and C) as well as the frequency response of a PCB trace.

When routing a printed circuit board (PCB), try to avoid critical signals in emissions or immunity close to the edge of the board to create a more robust system for EMI and EMC.

Some inventive engineering could help usher in the next generation of high-tech batteries.

This article uses a classical circuit-theory model of a series RLC circuit to explain the phenomenon of ringing on a transmission line, or a PCB trace.
