How to Address EMI Issues in Multilayer PCB Design
introduction There are many methods to solve EMI problems , and modern EMI suppression techniques include using EMI suppression coatings, selecting appropriate EMI suppression components, and performing EMI simulation design. This article discusses the role of PCB layering and stacking in controlling EMI radiation, along with design tips. Electromagnetic Shielding From the perspective of signal routing, an effective layering strategy should place all signal traces on one or several layers, closely adjacent to the power or ground layers. For power layers, an effective strategy is to have the power layer next to the ground layer, minimizing the distance between them. This is what we refer to as a "layering" strategy. PCB Stacking What kind of stacking strategy helps with shielding and suppressing EMI? The following layering schemes assume that power currents flow on a single layer, with single or multiple voltages distributed across different sections of the same layer. ...
