It's quite common for a power supply (PSU) designer to work with a circuit designer to realize a system design compliant with international EMC regulations. PSU designers will be well aware of the requirement of the power supply to provide clean DC voltage and not disturb the AC mains voltage. However, they may not have any idea of the noise that can potentially be introduced to the mains through the PSU by the target circuit. Likewise, the circuit designers (digital or analogue) may not know what attenuation the PSU will provide.

This document provides high-level PCB design, sensor mounting, and handling guidelines for TDK IMU devices, which incorporate a combination of gyroscopes and accelerometers. Each sensor has specific requirements to ensure the highest performance in a finished product. For a layout assessment of your design, including placement and estimated temperature disturbances, please contact TDK. The TDK IMU devices discussed in this document (ICM-40607x, ICM-40608, ICM-42xxx, ICM-43xxx, and ICM-45xxx products) consist of 3-axis MEMS gyroscopes and 3-axis MEMS accelerometers.

The multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) has become a widely used electronics component both for surface mount and embedded PCB applications. The MLCC technologies have gone through a number of material and process changes such as the shift from precious metal electrode (PME) configurations which were predominantly silver/palladium to base metal electrodes (BME) dominated by nickel. Each of these changes were accompanied by both quality and reliability problems. The MLCC industry is now in the midst of an unprecedented set of challenges similar to the Moore’s Law challenges being faced by the semiconductor industry. While capacitor failures have historically been responsible for a significant percentage of product field failures (most estimates are ~30%) we are seeing disturbing developments in the low voltage (
