Hi Everyone, Time for my next technical article. Do you use SATA cables in your designs? You may be interested in the data I discuss in my October 2010 Technical Tidbit. You may not be happy when you see the results. Abstract: The results of an investigation into the shielding effectiveness ofSATA (serial ATA) cables used with modern disk drives are presented. The voltages induced into several SATA cables from an ESD stress are reported andconclusions drawn. The link is: http://emcesd.com/tt2010/tt100210.htm[1] The rest of the (approaching 200) technical articles are linked from the homepage at http://emcesd.com[2] . Thanks to RMV Technology Group ( http://esdrmv.com[3] ) for the use of their facilities to generate the data in this article.
