Low Voltage Charged Device Model (CDM) Testing at a Crossroads

Most ESD experts consider CDM testing to be the most critical ESD qualification test for modern integrated circuits. ESD control engineers need to know the charged device ESD robustness of all components passing through their manufacturing line. CDM measurements provide that knowledge.

Estimating the Parasitics of Passive Circuit Components

This article presents a simple method of estimating the parasitics of the three passive circuit components (R, L, C).

Indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) Thin-film-transistors (TFT) and ESD

The thin-film transistor (TFT) became commercially available slightly more than 30 years ago in the form of a switch for the Liquid Crystal Display.

Product Manuals in Focus

Read an interview with Dr. Robinson for context on manuals, including the latest standards and best practices for incorporation with your product safety strategy.

How to Select Absorbing Materials for Retrofitting

If you think you’re ever going to need to use flexible RF absorber sheets to help your product pass emissions, even at some later date, it might be a good idea to have already identified and obtained the material and have characterized its insertion-loss performance.

Evaluation of EMC Emissions and Ground Techniques on 1- and 2-layer PCBs with Power Converters

This is the 10th and the final article in a series of articles devoted to the design, test, and EMC emissions evaluation of 1- and 2-layer PCBs that contain AC/DC and/or DC/DC converters and employ different ground techniques.

Characterization for ESD Design, the TLP Zoo: Part 2

This is the second of a two-part series on transmission line pulse (TLP) testing.

Banana Skins – March 2022 (#365-377)

Is it safe to use cellphones on airplanes? The real question should be: “Is it safe for passengers to use any electronic equipment on airplanes?”

The Calculation of Creepage and Clearance Distances Using a Spacings Calculator

The calculation of creepage and clearance distances (spacings) is one of the most important activities a product safety/compliance engineer or technician performs throughout the product development process.

Evaluation of EMC Emissions and Ground Techniques on 1- and 2-layer PCBs with Power Converters

We continue to focus on the AC/DC power converter board (2-layer PCB). We evaluate the implementation of several EMC countermeasures and present the conducted and radiated emissions results performed according to the CFR Title 47, Part 15, Subpart B, Class B.
