EMC Considerations in PCB Design and Layout

This one-day seminar covers Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) considerations for digital printed circuit board design & layout.  The seminar is intended for PCB design and layout personnel as well as engineers interested in PCB layout.  Layout and routing techniques aimed at minimizing both radiated and conducted emissions are discussed.  Multilayer boards are emphasized.  Topics covered include: clock routing,  PCB partitioning, decoupling, transmission lines, characteristics of ground planes, and layer stack-up.
