Overview
What you will study
The real-time hardware demonstrations use a spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope and signal generators to illustrate inductance, common-impedance coupling, and ground loops in PCBs, cables, and systems. Specific examples of single-point, multi-point, “good”, and “bad” grounds will be discussed. We will also apply the Advanced Printed Circuit Board Design for EMI and Signal Integrity course offered by University of Oxford learning by discussing and examining actual SILENT client case histories as well as examples of integrated circuit application notes that give bad EMC design advice.
After attending this course, you will be able to:
- Place decoupling capacitors to obtain best performance for a given layer stackup, based on the latest university research
- Explain the pros and cons of different PCB stackups, and know where to route and not to route high frequency noise sources
- Control trace inductance for signal integrity and low noise design
- Correctly identify the possible noise paths that can disrupt PCB operation and choose appropriate solutions
- Explain the problems that split ground planes cause and how to use them correctly
- Choose & place connectors and assign signals for lowest crosstalk, best signal integrity, and lowest EMI
- How to identify mutual inductance and improve the effectiveness of filter capacitors
- Identify good and bad design practices when viewing actual PCB layout screenshots
