Cover Story 
Politically correct power
Joshua Israelsohn, Technical Editor
It’s not sexy but, increasingly, it’s the law: If you want to sell your products into a growing number of geographic markets, you have no choice but to be a good power-line citizen. Fortunately, power-semiconductor manufacturers are easing the needed compliance.
 
Design Feature 
Sensors and ICs simplify current measurements
David Marsh, Contributing Technical Editor
Today's drive toward energy efficiency at every level makes current the fast-growing measurement. Designers can now choose from a bewildering variety of hardware to best implement techniques that have minimal impact on the host circuitry.
Crosstalk penalty in serial-communication high-speed modules
Keith Lystad, Maxim Integrated Products
Electromagnetic crosstalk, among its many detrimental effects, degrades receiver sensitivity. The mitigation of crosstalk becomes increasingly challenging as data rates increase for higher throughput, as module sizes shrink for increased port density, and as supply rails lower for reduced power dissipation.
