Hi All, Here is my latest technical article: Technical Tidbit - December 2011 Measuring the Resonant Frequencies Of Heat Sink Tines (Your heat sink can be the source of high frequency EMC emissions!) This month's Technical Tidbit describes a method for measuring the resonant frequencies of heat sink tines. Abstract: Heat sinks on ICs can be a source of emissions at high frequencies in the multi-GHz range. A method of identifying high risk frequencies by measuring the resonant frequencies of the heat sink tines is discussed.
