Design For Manufacture: Electronics

Electromagnetic Compatibility Best Practices

Consumer electronic devices have exploded in popularity in recent years and they have become an integral part of our daily lives.  For all these devices to work in harmony, the Federal COmmunications Commission (FCC) has put a great deal of work into creating rules that these devices must abide by.  These rules and regulations primarily exist to ensure devices do not emit interference that may degrade or diminish the performance of surrounding devices.

Switched On: MOSFET Selection Guide

MOSFETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors) are heavily used in a most of the electronics we use every day. When looking at it from a sheer numbers perspective, the vast majority are contained within what is known as an integrated circuit. These parts can contain anywhere from hundreds to billions of the devices on a single chip and perform a myriad of different functions.
