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

It's easy to fall into this trap.

Especially if we still think about circuits using the electron flow analogy.

We have to switch to thinking about fields.

This short clip is from an EMI design review I did a while back.

You can find the full video on my blog along with the article.

You'll see how, using Simberian Inc. software, we can simulate

what happens when signals propagate across gaps and between planes.

The issue?

No Return and Reference Plane (RRP) adjacent to the signal trace.

This forces the signal return current to find another path.

The path of least impedance.

If you don’t engineer this properly, problems will arise.

The solution?

Continuous, low-impedance Return Reference planes.

You cannot compromise PCB layout

if you want EMC compliance and low EMI.

If you want a proven path and are ready to stop the guesswork,
