At APEC 2012, February 5-9, 2012, at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Orlando, Fairchild Semiconductor, will address the real energy challenges designers face every day, and will demonstrate power supply solutions featuring mWSaver technology, including energy efficient controllers for flyback designs.

RFI/EMI screening is a discipline that is of interest to both the electronic engineer and the enclosure design engineer. The electronic engineer must take EMC into account when designing PC boards by careful layout, using PCB shielding cans, paying attention to wiring runs, use of filters and ferrites etc. This can eliminate the majority of EMI emissions. However circuit design and layout may not be sufficient to attenuate emissions to the requir...
