Managing EMI and EMC at GHz and Beyond

By Ono Hiroshi

New power-semiconductor technologies like SiC and GaN enable increased efficiency and higher switching frequencies, which allows smaller component sizes. But these gains come at the expense of greater radiated electromagnetic emissions, just as EMC regulations are getting tougher. How can engineers effectively minimize radiated EMI?

Silicon Labs’ Si5332 Portfolio Replaces Clocks, Oscillators, Buffers and Complete Clock Trees

Silicon Labs has expanded its Si5332 any-frequency clock portfolio with new versions combining the clock IC and a quartz crystal reference inside the same package, simplifying board layout and design.

Upcoming Webinars

GaN for DC to DC Converters and Voltage Regulators

GaN offers many advantages compared to silicon MOSFETS, including smaller size, lower on state resistance, more stable gate voltage, much lower capacitance resulting in higher speed, lower inductance connection inductance and manufacturable using existing silicon wafer fabs and the promise of lower cost. With all of these benefits, mass adoption should be instantaneous, right? Yet, engineers are slow to change, in part due to a lack of credible information and in part due to fear of the unknown.
