The foundational framework for EMI control through PCB layout. What a properly bounded channel looks like, the mental shift from current to fields, the 4 failure modes, and Dario's full vocabulary: dielectric, boundary, RRP, RRV, cavity.
A layout EMC review built around one question per checkpoint: is the propagation channel continuous here? 20 checkpoints across stack-up pairing, RRP continuity, layer transitions (RRV), and field environment. Live integrity score.
Define the propagation channels before the first trace is placed. 4 gates — stack-up architecture, RRP & transition planning, signal assignment, placement architecture — with gate logic and go/stop verdict.
10 chapters covering every layout mistake that causes EMC test failures — with quizzes, self-audit, roadmap, certification exam and printable checklist.
5-step spec capture with gate reviews, live brief preview, risk register and PDF export. Define the product before you open the schematic tool.
9 categories, 50+ items covering schematic organisation, signal integrity, protection and compliance. Complete before the first trace is placed.
Browse EMI-compliant stackup templates for 2-12 layers, or build your own and get a live EMC score with detailed findings. Includes return-path analysis, design rule checks, and a full reference of stackup terms and golden rules.
Animated visualisation of how signals travel through a PCB transmission line — wavefront, displacement current, E and H fields, live impedance matching.
