Dear readers, I have been really busy working in training and EMI troubleshooting in the past months. I am happy to be here again with a new post. This month we will see a topic from a real-world situation - very interesting - for electronic designers working in conducted emissions problems. In one of the projects I was involved with several weeks ago, a product was … [Read more...]
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in Electro-Optic Devices
Many electronic components used in highly technological devices can be damaged or degraded by sudden electrostatic discharges, known by the term Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Components such as transistors, diodes, laser diodes, electro-optical devices, and a variety of integrated circuits are all sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Many manufacturers are increasingly … [Read more...]
EMC Laboratory Selection Audit Items
Introduction This blog will provide the reader with an introduction to some of the items that need to be looked at when auditing an EMC laboratory with an eye to placing them on your company’s approved lab list. This is not an in-depth look at each item but is based on my experiences auditing laboratories (both in-house and 3rd party) over a number of years. Key … [Read more...]
