The Banana Skin columns were compiled by Keith Armstrong, of Cherry Clough Consultants Ltd, from items he found in various publications, and anecdotes and links sent in by the many fans of the column.

Besides using magnetic loop antennas for compliance tests in strict accordance with standards, they can be used for engineering design and pre-compliance work.

This part II of the RC Snubber topic discusses the systematic and efficient design process and design verification through simulations and laboratory measurements

Crosstalk is a well-known problem for EMI/EMC and signal integrity designers. But, for non-specialist electronic designers, this problem can create unexpected and difficult to discover failures in electronic products.

The full application of ANSI/ESD S20.201 or IEC61340-5-12 coupled with a complete understanding of...

We are proud to carry on the tradition of sharing Banana Skins for the purpose of promoting education for EMI/EMC engineers.

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. 

This is the first of two articles devoted to RC snubber design. In Part I, we discuss the fundamentals of inductive switching and the need for circuit protection.

The Role of ESD In ordinary circumstances, static electricity is little more than an...
