2c it seems that the low voltage used in the application is being mistaken for low energy. Your garden variety alkaline manganese cell has such a low internal resistance that it behaves as a little bomb when shorted. Same with lithium battery technology. If the solar cell can put out 10W it mat

On the surface, it seems to me that that requiring any sort of regulatory compliance for a device operating from a 3 Volt source would be utterly absurd. But then, from my perspective, regulatory agencies are not always noted for their use of common sense in creating their regulations. The fact th

Ron Some help, I hope, to your questions. "Would this small LCD display device even be required to be evaluated to IEC 60950 3rd Edition or to IEC 60950-1?" This depends on what you are trying to achieve, good company practices, or a countries regulatory requirements. For Europe, the product d
