Hi All, First a few questions:
1. Do you know what US State has an EMC requirement that a company must meet to sell certain types of products there? And, why you might want to do this test on your equipment to avoid field issues that can be costly. 2. ESD testing completely misses a lot of things that happen in the field. We test with a small number of discharges of high amplitude. What about a system interface that receives tens of thousands of small ESD over time, slowly damaging the equipment until failure happens on the 10,000th discharge? 3. How do you handle an ESD problem where the system is sensitive only 0.1% of the time, but the effect, when it happens, is not good, even catastrophic? 4. How can one measure ground bounce in ten minutes in an IC package without connecting to the package pins? 5. How can one find the on-board source of a glitch that is corrupting a signal in a few minutes? 6. And more.... I am thinking of giving a virtual presentation later next week on lab methods to answer the above questions and more. None of the above procedures are widely known in the SI and EMC world. The presentation will be about a half day or a bit longer. There will be a small charge. I have not worked out the details, but if you are interested, contact me via email or phone call. The more people interested, the smaller the charge will be. On my end, I will need about a day to put it together and set up some lab experiments to do during the presentation.
