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

Picture this: You’re launching an electronic product.

You’ve got two paths:

- A: Stop EMC/EMI issues before testing, at the source.

- B: Scramble to fix them after it flops at the EMC lab.

Here’s the breakdown:

Option A – The Proactive Play

🔹Costs next to nothing upfront.

🔹Bake it into your budget—think one-time course, a few resources, or a quick project review.

🔹You’re in control. No surprises.

Option B – The Chaos Tax

🔹Starts free. Sounds nice, right?

🔹Then it fails. Cue expensive consultants, bulky components, and production headaches.

🔹Oh, and that budget? You’re rewriting it last minute. Good luck.

I’ve lived both.

Option A hooked me after I saw the results: clean designs, no more EMC roulette.

It’s worked for me and every company I’ve advised since.

You should try it.

TLDR: Don’t wing it.

Learn EMI at the source.

Fix it early.

Save cash and sanity.
