Over 1000 pages long, the new “Passive Components 2018” catalog is now available from Würth Elektronik eiSos. The manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components presents its broad and significantly extended range in the categories of EMC Components, Power Magnetics and Signal & Communications – some of which are AEC-Q200 qualified. All the products listed in the catalog are available from stock, also as free samples.

Tektronix, Inc., a worldwide provider of measurement solutions, today introduced EMCVu, a new all-in-one solution for EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing and troubleshooting. In today’s electronic design environment, about 50 percent of products fail electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing the first time.

When it comes to EMI/RF Shielding, Orbel Corporation recognizes that engineers need the ability to access solutions in a timely manner. With that in mind, Orbel has launched a new, easy to use, online store with a unique selection of high quality products. Orbel’s store offers a wide range of EMI shielding products and custom board shield design capabilities, shipped directly from Orbel’s facility in the USA.

It’s what you don’t know you don’t know that can ruin your day. This paper notes in detailed examples that with today’s high-speed designs, we can no longer restrict our thinking in terms of signal integrity, power integrity or EMC alone. We must consider all three disciplines and become educated about each of them to achieve successful designs.

This article discusses some of the common SI and EMI issues that can be found using DRCs.

Not an official award, per se, but Eric Bogatin gives his top pick for his favorite demo at the recent EMC event in Washington DC.

Traditional swept-tuned EMI spectrum analyzers and step-tuned EMI receivers may produce misleading or entirely false measurement results when the signal under study is not steady state, but transient. See Eric Bogatin's review of a demo by Lee Hill on this subject.
