All, There will be a joint Northeast Product Safety Society and EMC Society meeting on Wednesday, September 24, at EMC Corporation's Customer Briefing Center at 42 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 6:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:00 PM. If you will be in the area, please feel free to join us as NPSS membership or advanced notice is not required.
Isidor Straus, Chief Scientist at Curtis-Straus LLC, will present issues involved in PCB design and noise generation. His discussion will provide an overview of basic signal integrity and EMC mechanisms including emission/immunity models for current loops and voltage dipoles both common and differential mode. He will present some methods to minimize these effects with PCB layout, layer stacking, power plane integrity and component placement. He will also provide some specific examples for LAN interface layout and EMI control as well as ESD precautions. Isidor Straus has been active in the field of regulatory compliance for over 25 years. He is one of the founders and Chief Scientist at Curtis-Straus, LLC, and an editor and frequent contributor to the magazine, /Conformity/. Much of his current work involves correction of electromagnetic compatibility design problems, and emissions control. Mr. Straus is an IEEE EMC Society Member, and served as Technical Committee co-chair for the IEEE 2003 International EMC Symposium in Boston.
