RE: Check list for PCB Layout

Sorry guys, I think I might have miss out the mailing list. I am sending this out again because it seem to me that the email address emc-p...@ieee.org is not an 'alias' (the same as) of emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org. Many appologies. Tim Foo 04/28/03 01:50 PM To: tkrze...@genius.org.br, ieee

Re: Check list for PCB Layout

Hi everybody, I would like to create a check list in order to help designers and PCB routers of my company to improve their design / EMI and SI. Use this commented pcb checklist from Xilinx as a good starting point - http://www.xilinx.com/xlnx/xil_prodcat_product.jsp?title=si_pcbcheck

I don't know if this is a too far-reachinig answer to the inquiry, but for someone who is interested in more than quick summary of the technical aspects, I would recommend to start with Clayton R. Paul: Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility, John Wiley Sons. BTW, I agree taht H.

Krzesaj, another source of information is the IEEE EMC Society. The Society has symposiums around the world that you can attend and hear experts first hand. If you are not able to attend, you can get a CDROM with the presentations on them. See the details about past CDROMs at:

Hi Tom, Our biggest problem was maintaining trace impedances and printed wiring board thickness during layout. We would start out with the best of intentions, but as things were being routed, compromises of trace widths and layer thicknesses to meet other board restrictions and to work around
