In this episode of the Würth Elektronik Watts Up Podcast, we focus on the fundamentals of transient suppression and EMI filtering for different electronic interfaces. As electronic devices become more interconnected, controlling voltage spikes and interference is increasingly important. We discuss filter designs for mains power, asymmetrical, and symmetrical signal interfaces, explaining how to select and size components such as ferrites, capacitors, varistors, and TVS diodes. You’ll hear calculation examples and learn how to apply these solutions to scenarios like USB and power line protection. Topics include: - Why transient suppression is critical for modern circuits - How to approach filter design for different interface types - Component selection tips and calculation steps - Application examples and common pitfalls.
