Course Overview:

The EMI/EMC Proof PCB Designing course provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles, techniques, and best practices for designing printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. This course is suitable for electrical engineers, PCB designers, and anyone involved in the development of electronic devices.

Recognizing poor design features early in a product’s development can save a lot of time and expense later on. This course stresses the fundamental concepts and tools that board designers must be familiar with to avoid electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity problems. Students completing the course will be able to make good decisions regarding component selection, component placement, and trace routing. In addition, students will have the knowledge and tools necessary to design effective power distribution and grounding strategies for both digital and mixed-signal boards.
