Product Description

PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control is intended for EMC designers and electronic design engineers. It 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. PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control will be an invaluable resource for the pcb designer.

detailed descriptions
Electronic products, or more broadly any product with electronic parts, need to reduce their EM interference to some minimum amount. Where this depends on the type of product and the country in which it will be sold. A problem is that in university electrical engineering courses, controlling EMI is typically only briefly taught.

In contrast, this book gives detailed prescriptions on how to lay out your printed circuit board elements, to minimise EMI. Vital subjects like understanding the role of a ground plane and how to incorporate it into your PCB are covered.

All the book's material should be understandable to anyone with an undergrad background in engineering or physics.

Recommended for PCB Designers
"PCB Design for Real-World EMI Control" is a great book on techniques to reduce EMI problems in your designs. The book has a good layout with each chapter building on the last. Techniques are discussed in detail with very little math. Overall, the book is easy to follow for the beginning designer and a good reference for the experienced designer. I recommend this book to anyone involved in PCB design.

An easy read and great resource for an EE
This book explained EMI control and design for EMC in a clear manor. I had only one complaint, there are a lot of graphs that appear to have been in color originally. The book is not printed in color, so it is difficult to distinguish data traces on these graphs. I would still highly recommend this book!
