Digi-Key Electronics
[ON Semiconductor]( [650 V SuperFET® III]( series offers high performance super junction MOSFETs specifically designed for high power density. Featuring best-in-class FOM and Eoss, the [SuperFET III technology]( reduces RDS(ON) by more than 40% in the same package size compared to previous industry-leading technology. This allows product designers to utilize the reduced package size or the increased power in the same footprint. The [SuperFET III]( features a robust body diode and well-balanced switching behavior.

[Protecting Electronic Equipment from EMI](
Schaffner EMC Inc.
As electronic devices become more commonly used, there is an accompanying risk that some of this [equipment will create electromagnetic interference (EMI)]( which can be thought of as noise or “electronic smog.” [EMI can interfere with system functionality]( causing an undesirable response, malfunction, or degradation in the performance of electrical circuits. Sources of EMI include (but are not limited to) AC motors, switched-mode power supplies, microprocessors, mobile phones, computers, fluorescent bulbs, ballasts, and photovoltaic systems.

[Mystical Magnetic Fields](
As you know, the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field changes with time, as does "North" on a compass. Some researchers have used old paintings, such as the murals in the old Vatican Library (Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana), or ancient clay kilns to find compass directions for specific times in the past. How is this possible?
