Power Module Incorporates EMI Filter for Use in Medical Equipment
The ISL8201M from Intersil is a highly integrated power conversion module. It provides a high efficiency, low-noise DC/DC power solution in a thermally enhanced QFN package. Its onboard input filter supports low noise operation and reduced EMI. The small form factor of the ISL8201M conserves board space, and its integration of functions cuts procurement and placement costs in … [Read more...]
Téléphone Cellulaire—Non!
Recently France banned cell phone use in its primary schools based on the “cautionary principle” that the long-term health effects of being exposed to the EM fields from cell phones from childhood on is still an unknown. At present cell phone use is allowed on school grounds but not in classrooms. Under the new regulations, their use in primary schools is simply banned. French … [Read more...]

Special & Invited Sessions – Modeling/Simulation Validation Standards and Applying the FSV Technique to Quantify Validation Quality
This special session will focus on the recently published IEEE standard for model/ simulation validation. The Feature Selective Validation (FSV) technique is used to quantify the quality of the agreement between two data sets, such as the simulation results and the data used as validation data. The FSV techniques must be modified depending upon the use, and this session will … [Read more...]
