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

Just kidding—it’s massive.

When I do an EMI audit, first thing I check?

The stackup.

Some folks still get shocked by that.

Someone asked me lately:

“Project’s failing EMI—don’t you check filters first?”

Nope. Here’s the deal:

- Stackup’s off?

Your filter’s toast—barely does a thing.

- Stackup’s good?

Shows how the designer pictures EMI working.

Poor stackup = we’ve got lots to talk about.

Good stackup, still failing EMC?

Then we hit the nitty-gritty.

Before I mess with transfer functions or fancy headaches,

I nail the fundamentals.

Build it up right, step by step.

Like a house:

Solid foundations = solid result.

Scrappy foundations = scrappy everything.

By the way, if you got value from this,

I’m looking to help 3 companies in the US/CH/EU/CA with their EMC/EMI issues.
