prof. Sam Ben-Yaakov discusses in detail considerations for solenoid drive and notes ability for the MOSFETs to absorb the inductor kickback.

On-board charging systems (OBCs) are an essential part of any fully electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Their main objective is to convert AC power external charging source into a DC voltage in order to charge the vehicle's battery pack. In this webinar, YAGEO Group's Alexander Nebel (Field Application Engineer) will examine automotive on-board charging systems and reveal how to find the best components...

Designers, manufacturers, importers, and installers of electronic systems must demonstrate that their products do not generate or suffer from electromagnetic interference (EMC). And this is not easy! Really, it is difficult! Delays, unexpected costs, nerves and stress, or loss of image with a potential client, are some of the most important effects derived from non-compliance with the Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations. To avoid failing in...

System Efficient ESD Design (SEED) address the protection of I/O against ESD using simulation. This allows to predict the robustness against damaging ESD and allows to reduce the likelihood of disturbances caused by ESD (soft-failure). Reduced design margin due to smaller, less current carrying metallization and contacts and thinner gate oxide has reduced the design window for ESD protection to a few V and...

Problems that arise when implementing an RF filter in modern signal interfaces are discussed. Effectiveness of filters under realistic impedance conditions, via peripheral cables in comparison to the 50Ohm-system are shown. Filter topologies are compared, the influence of filter design and peripheral cable impedance are explained. Filter topology adapted to the system, suitable components and an RF-compatible construction including layout are discussed. Critical points...
