System-product Response to Electrostatic Discharge Events

ESD standards provide a limited view of electrostatic discharge. Reality reveals a complex spectrum of voltages, rise times, and current peaks that challenge traditional testing methods, exposing potential vulnerabilities in electronic system protection.

Mike Violette unravels mysterious horizontal lines plaguing hospital trauma room X-ray images. After extensive investigation, the culprit wasn't the suspected 58kHz interference but an RFID theft-detection system operating at 13.56MHz—highlighting the importance of persistence in electromagnetic troubleshooting.

Power Line Common-mode Conducted EMI Emission

Don't be misled by common assumptions about EMI emissions. While many attribute conducted EMI profiles solely to currents from product power connections to LISNs, the reality is more complex. Interface-sourced common-mode potentials can create measurement effects that appear to originate from power terminals—requiring different mitigation strategies than traditional power entry suppression.

Smoking or Non-smoking?

In the Summer of 2000 I booked some burn time at a small environmental lab in south Dallas. The facility was not exactly state-of-the-art, but the price was right: $300 a burn. It sure beat paying about $4,000 a burn at an NRTL at the time. For 300 bucks, you got the chamber, a methane line burner connected by a hose to a big tank of methane gas, and a technician who would manually operate the whole thing from an adjoining isolated room. A fire extinguisher was always ready “just in case”.
