Design

Each component in an ESD protected area (EPA) plays a vital part in the fight against electrostatic discharge (ESD). If just one component is not performing correctly, you could harm your ESD sensitive devices potentially costing your company a lot of money.

This article offers an understanding of what conducted emissions are, their sources and paths, how to measure for them, and how to control them at different stages of design.

Statistical model-based EMC design is evolving for complex electronic networks installed in enclosed spaces typical of spacecraft, aircraft and automobiles.

Achieving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance is now straightforward, quick, and easy – using the EM Engineering process that Keith Armstrong describes in this article.

The automotive industry and individual automobile manufacturers must meet a variety of EMC requirements.

Old glass bottles get a chance at a second life with this new technology that turns them into batteries.

An incredibly small chip is changing the way we look at power and speed in many of our most used devices.

Consider a two-sided PCB with a single trace on top and full copper ground plane on the bottom.

Tests and manufacturing results have proven that some static dissipative materials can still produce significant and possibly damaging discharge currents.

Transported lithium-based batteries are divided into two types: lithium-ion found in mobile phones and laptops, and non-rechargeable lithium-metal used in medical devices and a number of consumer grade AA, AAA and 9V batteries.
