PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control

Book excerpt: This book emphasizes understanding basic concepts of controlling the currents on printed circuit boards (pcb's), and provides a wealth of insightful information detailing the possible sources of emissions. Numerous design strategies are presented to help readers understand how to produce, control and eliminate emission sources. Additional highlights include the following: -Information explaining how to design pcb's to pass EMC Requirements the first time! -Controlling intentional and unintentional currents at their source; -Decoupling strategies explained and myths exposed; -Proper I/O filter design and connection strategy explained; -Not simply a list of do's and don't's....but an explanation of "why" things work as they do; -"Ground is a place where potatoes and carrots grow!" -Basic shielding design considerations for PCBs included, and more. This 'hands-on' book will help designers understand "why" or "why not" to implement a specific design practice.
