Abstract
Recent regulations have demanded that electronics manufacturing companies control emissions from their products and the susceptibility of their products for Emissions from other products. In addition, unexpected product failure and the ever-present demands of technology are also forcing the electronics industry to face the need to maintain Electrical Integrity. The investigations into high-speed design techniques have shown three major causes of failure: emissions from interconnecting conductors; poor PCB layout and lack of technical knowledge in Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). Catching these kinds of electrical integrity problems early in the design phase allows designers to take timely action without jeopardising project time scales. The work reported here presents design for manufacturing guidelines and rules to maintain electrical integrity in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Currently, a common method for handling EMC is through compliance testing of the final product. Similarly, noise budget is measured on finishing prototypes. Since product life cycles are reduced, dealing with EMC late in the design cycle is undesirable. The cost of fixing may also be higher at a final stage because only a few options are available to correct the problem. A 'find and fix' approach is no longer acceptable. More and more companies are facing or will soon be facing EMC and electrical integrity issues. The majority of analysis tools available today are targeted towards simulation engineers. Such tools are not easy to use and are dependent on the availability and accuracy of complex simulation models. Moreover, they also tend to be ineffective on how to correct potential EMC problems.

Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips

Volume 5 Issue 4 September - November 2017 Research Paper Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips Cengiz Polat* Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. Uzunoglu, C. P. (2017). Continuous Over Voltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems,  5(4), 1-7.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.5.4.13938 Abstract Increasing applications of constantly developing electronic devices require delicate voltage and current protection. Although the electrical network is monitored continuously, undesired over currents and over voltages may occur on the distribution system due to failures. Most of the electronic switch gear is connected via surge protected power strips in indoor applications, where current protection is vital. Surge protected power strips are usually manufactured based on Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) ...

Reduced Wirelength-Based Low Power Performance of Multibit Flip-Flop

Volume 1 Issue 4 September - November 2013 Research Paper Reduced Wirelength-Based Low Power Performance of Multibit Flip-Flop M.Karthick*, S. Vijayakumar** *PG Scholar, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Paavai Engineering College, Namakkal, India. **Associate Professor, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Paavai Engineering College, Namakkal, India. Karthick, M. and Vijayakumar, S. (2013). Reduced Wire length-Based Low Power Performance Of Multibit Flip-Flop.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems , 1(4), 22-26.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.1.4.2593 Abstract Power reduction is a main parameter to design VLSI circuits. In this paper, to design a number of D-flip flop performing at the same time, the given clock signal is reduced using multi bit flip-flop. The multi bit flip flop is mainly used to improve the clock power for the given common clock signal and to reduce the switching power. This method is p...

A Review on Control strategies for LFC in Deregulated Scenario

Volume 1 Issue 1 December - February 2013 Review Paper A Review on Control strategies for LFC in Deregulated Scenario T. Anilkumar*, N. Venkata ramana** * Associate Professor, EEE Department, ACE Engineering College, Ghatkesar, Hyderabad, AP, India. ** Professor and Head of Deportment, EEE Department, JNTU Mantini, AP, India. Kumar, T. A., and Ramana, N., (2013). A Review On Control Strategies For LFC In Deregulated Scenario.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems , 1(1), 27-36.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.1.1.2197 Abstract In power system studies, Load frequency control is an important issue to supply sufficient and reliable electric power with good quality. The main objective of LFC is to maintain load frequency and tie-line power flow within permissible limits by adjusting megawatt output of LFC generators, so as to accommodate fluctuating load demands. This paper presents a brief review of different control techniques to researchers on design...
