The CAN interface is the most common BUS inside a car. Some years back, I was introduced to the CAN bus by a good friend of mine from...

Radiated emissions from a product don't always turn out the way we want. And having a plan for troubleshooting emissions when they exceed...

In a previous article, I discussed the common mode coupling on the PoE (Power Over Ethernet) DCDC converter that I discussed a few months...

EMC is considered by many to be a "black magic" for a number of reasons. In some cases, it may be the case that you obtain unexpected...

Today, it is common for a product to contain a motherboard and several daughter boards. In the following example, let us imagine that we...

A couple of months ago, I was testing EMC for a medical product. As the product is enclosed within a metallic enclosure, I was concerned...

I visited Scotland on holiday, a beautiful country! There is so much history in Edinburgh, and I also enjoyed visiting Glasgow. It is...

A few years ago, I worked on digital radio for a customer. It was a very complex design, but the reward for an electronic engineer such...

Some time ago, I wrote a blog post about the design technique I use when I am solving EMC emissions for clients when I am working on...

Those of you who are reading my post know that there is not much 'black magic' behind EMC and that there is always an explanation for why...

I designed my first general I/O PCI card when I was a student (a few years ago now :-)). The PCI card was part of my thesis, and the...

As we have seen in parts 1, 2, and 3, the input current loop of a DCDC converter affects both conductive and radiated emissions....

In the process of creating a new product from scratch, I always add components that I may not need in production when I am designing it....

To avoid EMI and crosstalk on both PCB traces and connectors, it is crucial to understand the return path current. Previously, I...

I had the pleasure of working with a customer a few years ago, who was ready to launch his product on the market. My suggestion was to go...

It was my pleasure to assist a startup company in passing EMC last month. The company now has its CE mark on their product and I am...

When we design electronics, there are a few things we shouldn't skip. Often, CEOs and CTOs pressure us to design things quickly. But what...

When we place our bypass capacitors on a PCB, there are several factors that may affect the series inductance of the capacitor ESL when...

I spent several stimulating days last week performing EMC testing on one of my most challenging designs in the past two years. This is...

Recently, a customer contacted me about the possibility of "fixing" their design from the standpoint of EMC. The board may function...
