Avoiding EMC and EMI
Avoiding EMC and EMI(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"That's a big part of our design, is having boards that pass EMC and EMI testing. Because if they don't, then you have to redo the layout and that can get expensive.
"You have to have some knowledge of components and there are some guidelines you follow: where to put the power supply, where to put the micro(processor), or drivers. You kind of know the noisy circuits.
"We didn't learn that in school, that's something you learn on the job."
