Hi Patricia, I have no experience directly, but, the program sets time limits that would be attractive from a project management perspective. For instance, the third party (Accredited Person, in FDA lingo) reviews your product and sends their recommendation to the FDA. By law, the FDA must

Dave, For CE-Marking, EN55022 requires testing in a system configuration complete with keyboard, mouse, peripherals etc. Many labs maintain a known Class B compliant “golden” host PC for evaluating their clients PC components and/or peripherals. Note that FCC part 15 has a defined program for

Heck, I'm not even sure you can get consensus on the onboard clock.In the past there was a small thread about PLL generated clocks on IC's - such as PHY's etc. They are externally clocked at 125 Mhz and generate an internal 1.25 GHz clock which doesn't leave the chip. Some argued that the 1.25

For Europe, the product must conform to the RTTE Directive and be CE marked. What do you mean by RTTE approval? To products which are outside the scope of the RTTE Directive? What did you mean by CE approval? If you meant conformance to the LV and EMC Directives, the RTTE directly relates to

Now I'm leaning towards testing being a requirement. CE marking is required only in the European Economic Area (EU + EFTA), so if you decide to test (not a requirement) the DIMM, use EN55022 and EN55024 (immunity). John Radomski Schneider Electric

I am surprised at the number of, and different types of responses. I still say no way do you qualify memory or any other IC to any equipment-level EMC requirement. From my perspective, the radiation resulting form the IC depends almost totally on the host PCB design, so unless you have a
