Filtering EMI on an RS-485 Interface: Part II
In our last episode, we talked about an adapter stick for the RS-485 Standard that was designed to include a complete filter circuit for selected applications. Today's podcast is part two of understa…
Filtering EMI on an RS-485 Interface: Part I
By filtering directly at the interface, interference emissions, electrostatic discharges and fast transients bursts are prevented from entering the system; thus negatively influencing the operating p…
Characterizing Methods for Flexible Absorber Sheets
The most common means of solving electromagnetic noise problems is to shield the system with conductive materials, however, a large number of electronic devices have many parts that operate at high f…
An In-Depth Look at the Mechanical and Electrical Properties of ZIF/LIF/FFC
Besides the basic guidelines for applications, designers need to consider mechanical and electrical properties when selecting FPC connectors and FFC cable. This podcast comes from a recent webinar, i…
Sustainable Food Production with Horticulture LEDs
At the Applied Power and Electronics Conference (APEC) in Houston, Texas in 2022, Wurth Elektronik showcased its Hortirack. The Hortirack is a horticulture grow chamber that allows users to grow plan…
Energy Harvesting Development Steps
In this podcast, we explore the world of energy harvesting and discuss ways to not only harvest energy, but also use it in electronic applications. This podcast, based on a popular webinar, delves in…
The Aging and Changing of MLCC Capacity
Applications depend on certain or fixed capacity values to achieve a desired performance. However, ambient temperature, structural changes or component tolerances play an important role. Today we wil…
EMI: 101 Part II
Our last podcast introduced ferrites and the basics of EMC. Today we finish with a discussion on insertion losses and calculations and close with clamp-on ferrites. Click here to watch the complete W…
EMI: 101 Part I
In today's podcast, we discuss the basics, along with an overview of EMC, details on chip bead ferrites, and how to correctly read datasheets associated with ferrites. Click here to watch the complet…
Determining the Ideal Power Inductor for Energy-Efficient Applications
Energy-efficient devices are important components for saving resources and protecting the environment. The more efficient the electronics, the longer the battery service life for mobile devices, and …
EMC Passive Components for Automotive Applications
Anymore, passive components that are only AEC-Q200 tested are not enough for the use in automotive application. Many more tests are needed for qualification for a good design and high quality compone…
Negative Input Resistance of Switching Regulators
Even though a switching regulator may produce a constant output voltage at the end of the development phase, often, designers encounter unpleasant effects, such as unwanted oscillations, at the input…
REDCUBE Terminals – Innovation at its Finest
While Press-Fit is becoming more widely known in the industry, do the masses of designers really understand the benefits of using the technology? In this interview with Ben Arden, Business Developmen…
Sensors in the Change of Time
Today, an innovative sensor system contains so much more than just the single sensor cell. The ongoing miniaturization in microelectronics development makes it possible to design Application Specific…
Whisker Growth and Mitigation
A whisker is a crystalline structure of material that appears on tin surfaces. This well-known phenomenon was discovered in the early 1950's, and new legislative actions to avoid lead in electronic c…
