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...]

Smart and Reliable Assessment of Electromagnetic Environmental Effects on Ordnance

 

Become a successful HERO tester in four easy steps. Gaétan Duplain and Charles Leduc, Opsens, Inc., Quebec, Canada Hazards from Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO), the potential for electromagnetic radiation to pose an adverse effect on munitions, is a familiar problem first identified in the 1950s. Avoiding the unintended detonation or malfunction of electrically … [Read more...]

RF Shielding Materials: An Update on Selection and Cost Consideration

 

RF gasket selection must be a well-informed decision in the design process. Gary Fenical, Laird Technologies, St. Louis, MD, USA Advances in electronic components continue to occur at a rapid pace, and this ongoing rush means more and more wireless devices, increasing power levels, and higher frequencies. While consumers demand more advanced products with increased features … [Read more...]

New 10-Meter EMC Chamber Opens in Massachusetts

 

Testing firm Intertek has announced the opening of a new 10-meter EMC chamber in Boxborough, Massachusetts—a manufacturers’ state-of-the art EMC chamber for testing medical devices, IT, and telecom equipment, and industrial and commercial equipment. The new chamber will provide optimal 10-meter radiated emissions measurements in an ambient-free environment while providing … [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...]
