Designing PCBs for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC/EMI): Key Considerations and Mitigation Strategies
Introduction Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) are critical concerns in modern printed circuit board (PCB) design. As electronic devices become faster, smaller, and more densely integrated, managing unwanted electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility is essential to ensure reliable operation and regulatory compliance. Poor EMC/EMI design can lead to signal integrity issues, cross-talk, radiated emissions,…
