Hi Experts,

I am comparing EMI from two ASICs.  Both have identical rise/fall times 
and signal amplitude.  Yet the ASIC built with the later technology not 
only has significantly higher radiated emissions, but also shows much 
broader noise spectrum.  PCB stackup and layout is identical.  Please help 
me understand what other factors can be responsible for this anomaly.

The older ASIC uses a wirebond package, whereas the new ASIC has flip chip 
package.
