Overview: This seminar will explore
the effects of signal integrity and circuit design upon noise in mixed signal
environments. We will look into some of the common causes of noise, such
as the skin effect, the proximity effect and power supply and ground considerations.
We will also look at a common yet little-known EMI problem. You will come
away with some key circuit and layout rules to enhance system quality and
reliability.
