5 Ways to Eliminate Ground Loops – Part 1
A Brief Introduction Most workers already know that proper grounding is a fundamental safety precaution for all kinds of electrical equipment. However, it’s less well known that while grounding can prevent and resolve many safety and power issues, improper grounding can create problems in data logging, data acquisition, and measurement and control systems. One of the … [Read more...]
Things Not On the Schematic: How the Parasitic Element Affect Results
The engineer had found the use of a capacitor on a specific trace would solve a radiated emissions issue. However, placement on the connector where we put the capacitor during engineering work was not a production solution. So, the capacitor which was moved less than 1 inch away from the connector and turned sideways to fit on the circuit board. However, this degraded the … [Read more...]
EMC Design in Power Electronics Part 1: Regulators
INTRODUCTION Modern electronics demand low EMI and EMC conformance, both of which are related to component selection and physical layout in the power supply section of a device. Many more designs are demanding higher power levels alongside high power efficiency, as well as low-noise power supplied to mixed-signal systems. As a result, EMI and EMC challenges are more apparent … [Read more...]

EMI Filtering 101: Understanding the Basics
Introduction To start at the very beginning, what is an electrical filter? An electrical filter can be passive, active, analog, or digital. It is a device usually composed of discrete components which can be placed between circuits, networks, or equipment/systems to either emphasize, de-emphasize or control the frequency components of a desired or undesired signal. The term … [Read more...]
