One Simple Trick to Slash EMI in Your Designs
I’ve seen engineers overlook trace spacing and regret it.
Keep enough distance between your signal traces.
Too-close traces let signals couple between nets.
This turns connected wires into unintended antennas.
That noise escapes, causing chaos in EMC tests.
Lab antennas pick it up, risking test failures.
In many cases, simply spacing traces by at least three widths stops EMI fast.
Not enough real estate?
Place the Return and Reference Plane (RRP) closer to the signals.
These easy fixes save you from certification nightmares.
Master the fundamentals before hitting the EMC lab.
