Yuval Hernik, Vishay Precision Group, Malvern, PA For most of us, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and static electricity are little more than the shocks received when touching a metal doorknob after walking along a carpeted floor, or when opening a car door. The level of the voltage produced depends on a number of factors, such as the affinity of the two bodies and the air … [Read more...]
USB Interface on Laboratory Surge Generators
Jeffrey D. Lind, Compliance West USA As any laboratory engineer knows, harsh, noisy lab environments often result in data loss and/or resets of test equipment or host computers. A potential solution to this challenge is the successful implementation of mains power distribution in the lab, and an isolated serial/USB design for laboratory computer systems. This will allow the … [Read more...]
EMC Performance of a Product Over Its Lifetime
Gert Gremmen, Tim Haynes, Ralph McDiarmid, Ed Price, John Woodgate EMC performance of a product is likely to vary with age as the physical characteristics change, e.g. caps dry out and metal junctions oxidize, etc. Obviously, the product is designed with the intention of consistent compliance over the life of the product, but are there any requirements or guidance relating to … [Read more...]

New Furniture Line Features EMI/RFI Filters
Sanus, a brand of audio/video mounts, furnishings and consumer electronics accessories, now offers a rack mounted flat-panel HD power conditioner, which offers protection against power spikes and surges that could cause damage to expensive AV equipment and features dual-stage EMI/RFI filters. The ELM205’s dual-stage EMI/RFI filters eliminate noise from 20-50 dB (100 kHz-1 MHz) … [Read more...]
Thin EMI Filters with High ESD Performance
Texas Instruments Incorporated recently introduced six- and four-channel electromagnetic interference filters for LCD display applications. The filters also meet electrostatic discharge ratings that exceed the IEC 61000-4-2 specification by at least three times for contact discharge. Both are 67 percent better than the specification for air-gap discharge. This allows the signal … [Read more...]
