When correctly applied, real financial savings can be expected, along with a significant reduction in financial risks. Keith Armstrong, Cherry Clough Consultants, Stafford, UK Electronic complexity is increasing with no end in sight, increasing self-generated noise levels, while the feature sizes in silicon integrated circuits continue to shrink, making them emit more noise … [Read more...]

Reinventing Compact Immunity Testers
In the dim and distant days of the last century, EMC emerged relatively late on the evolutionary scale. Although engineers “of a certain persuasion” were laying the foundations as far back as the early 1960s, it was not until the European Union decided on a common identification mark (CE) to be a legal requirement in December 1994 that EMC became mainstream among test … [Read more...]
Surface Scan on IC Level with High Resolution
Measuring of near field above ICs or open DIEs with precisely positioned microprobes is a new tool for engineers to detect and solve EMI levels. Jörg Hacker, Langer EMV-Technik GmbH, Bannewitz, Germany ABSTRACT Today, engineers have less time to develop electronic circuits. The time to market is getting shorter and the requirements on the products are increasing. It means … [Read more...]
