Key Takeaways What is Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing? Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of equipment to operate correctly in its intended electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable disturbances to other devices. EMC testing systematically verifies compliance with these requirements through emission control, immunity assurance, and analysis of coupling mechanisms. Without EMC compliance, devices risk malfunctions ranging… Read More »
Key Takeaways Custom power supplies are engineered to meet specific voltage, current, environmental, and form-factor requirements that off-the-shelf units often cannot cover. A robust design flow covers topology selection, component sizing, thermal design, PCB layout, and safety/EMC compliance (e.g., IEC/UL 62368-1, IEC 60601-1 for medical, CISPR 32/35 for EMC). Modern switching topologies (e.g., LLC resonant,… Read More »
