The power distribution and control function has matured into a full-fledged design discipline. Roger Edelson Edelson Associates, Los Angeles, CA, USA Power distribution and control (and the associated cable management function), while not a sexy topic, has grown into a recognizable, and important, subset of industrial equipment design. Power distribution and control … [Read more...]
Integrated Inductive Component Reduces Radiated Emissions in Power Applications
The geometry of magnetic components can affect the incidence of unwanted low frequency radiation in the magnetic field. Gabriel Arianes, David Castillo, Raquel Garcia and Oscar Perez; Ferroxcube, Guadalajara, Spain INTRODUCTION The miniaturization trend has resulted in smaller components and greater board densities in electronic applications. This very density, which … [Read more...]
Eliminating MYTHS about Printed Circuit Board Power/Ground Plane Decoupling
Bruce Archambeault, Ph. D. IBM Research Triangle Park, NC [email protected] Introduction The use of decoupling capacitors connected between the power and ground planes on a printed circuit board (PCB) is a common practice to help ensure proper functionality and to reduce EMI emissions from printed circuit boards. The proper number of decoupling capacitors, and … [Read more...]
EMI Filters for Cardiac Pacemakers and Implantable Defibrillators
The use of ceramic feed-through capacitors, as well as specific filter designs and installation techniques, can make cardiac pacemakers immune to EMI ROBERT A. STEVENSON, Maxwell Technologies Carson City, Nevada, USA Under the coordination of Wireless Technology Research, L.L.C. (WTR), the interaction between cellular phones and cardiac pacemakers has been widely … [Read more...]
