At the board level this often means only one section of a board is retooled or upgraded; an approach that can save significant time and money. Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on previous work because the interaction of old functions and new features … [Read more...]
EMC and Thermal Design Conflicts in a PC
Thermal and EMC design in high-speed digital electronics systems has become a battle of conflicting requirements. Faster switching has led to increased electromagnetic (EM) emissions due to the extended bandwidth of signals. Higher-density components are consuming more power, generating increased EM fields and more heat. Electronics equipment must comply with radiation limits … [Read more...]
