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

EMC testing isn’t a final exam.

Or is it?

You’re walking into the lab. Heart pounding. Will your design pass? Fail?

Too late to wonder.

Most think EMC is a last-step chore.

Big mistake.

Fail, and you’re stuck—no sales, endless fixes, furious stakeholders.

Retesting? More cash gone.

Here’s the shift:

Don’t wait to deal with EMC. That’s a trap.

Tackle EMI at the source — right from the start.

How it works:

Obsess over PCB design fundamentals:

Stackup, placement, layout for field containment, and get paranoid with impedance.

Get these right, and noise doesn’t stand a chance.

Payoff:

You pass the test. Stress melts away.

Your design shines—and you get the recognition you deserve.

Peers notice. Stakeholders respect you.

Why scramble at the end when you can design it right from day one?
