GROUNDED: Your PCB, EMC/EMI, and SI Nuggets

Think EMC tests mean endless revisions? You’ve been misled.

I used to buy that lie too.

Every engineer I met would shrug and say, “EMI? Total black magic.”

It’s what we’re taught: EMC is so complex you’re stuck tweaking designs forever to pass.

But it’s not true.

I figured it out the hard way: it’s not black magic, just fundamentals.

Break it down step-by-step and tackle issues early.

Key word here: early!

No more last-minute fixes or crossed fingers at the lab.

No need to wrap the product like a Christmas gift with foil for shielding.

No need to lose sleep over bulky, expensive filtering techniques.

It’s all about energy management.

Don’t manage it properly?

The instruments at the EMC lab will pick it up, and you’ll fail.

Know how to channel it right?

Good. Now you’re ready to pass the tests.

See how it works in the video?

I’ve been there—you can nail this too.
