Most engineers are taught to think of current flowing through conductors as the primary mechanism of energy transfer, a model that works well at low speeds. In today’s high-speed designs, however, electromagnetic fields play a critical role in signal propagation and energy transfer, often leading to signal integrity issues, EMC failures, and costly respins when these effects are not properly accounted for.

In this webinar, we break down this misconception and show how it affects PCB layout, grounding, power distribution, and EMC performance, along with practical ways to design for better outcomes from the start.

You’ll learn how to:

• Avoid EMC and signal integrity issues caused by misunderstanding current flow
• Understand how electromagnetic fields drive noise, emissions, and signal quality
• Evaluate EMC risk based on switching speed, not just clock frequency
• Design transmission lines, reference planes, and return paths for compliance
• Apply practical techniques to reduce respins and improve first-pass success
