The explosion of these delivery services, coupled with the growth of online mega-retailer “Tao Bao,” is another manifestation of the pervasive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT).

In our last issue, I discussed heating, pyrolysis, and combustion processes necessary for a...

A million volts and 25 thousand amps are generated during a typical lightning strike. The phenomenology of nature’s oldest EMI Beast is quite fascinating, notably the physics that govern the discharge as it approaches the ground.

Discover the eye diagram, a very useful visual tool to analyze the quality of your connections in digital and high frequency applications.

Probably the single most frequently occurring and most misunderstood issue in electronic product safety is electrically-caused fire. I thought I would review fire processes in plastics materials (the most common flammable construction material in electronic products).

This month in our series exploring the latest industry insight on effective product safety label design and symbol usage, we’ll focus on the United States Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) approval of symbol-only safety labels.

Richard Nute examines how transformers behave when subjected to transient overvoltage, both magnetically and capacitively.

Sometimes a ferrite is used to remove ringing in some applications as in power electronics or digital circuits.

Even in the arcane world of Conformity Assessment, surprises are afoot.

The leakage current measuring circuits in IEC 950 and those in North America are exactly the same.
