Summary: Design for EMC/SI (Electromagnetic Compatibility & Signal Integrity) is our flagship EMC design class. It addresses the control of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) at the box level through proven design techniques. This two-day course provides a comprehensive treatment of EMC/SI "inside the box." This includes digital and analog circuits, printed circuit board design, power electronics, I/O treatments, mechanical shielding, and more. Please note - this class does NOT address "outside the box" issues such as cable design, power wiring, and other systems level concerns. Each student will receive a copy of the EDN Magazine Designer's Guide to EMC by Daryl Gerke and William Kimmel, along with a complete set of lecture notes. Tuition: Instructors: William (Bill) Kimmel., PE, has worked in the electronics field for over 45 years. He received his BSEE with distinction from the University of Minnesota. His experience includes design and systems engineering with industry leaders like Control Data and Sperry Defense Systems. Since, 1987, he has been involved exclusively with EMI/EMC as a founding partner of Kimmel Gerke Associates, Ltd. Bill has qualified numerous systems to industrial, commercial, military, medical, vehicular, and related EMI/EMC requirements. Daryl Gerke, PE, has worked in the electronics field for over 40 years. He received his BSEE from the University of Nebraska. His experience ranges includes design and systems engineering with industry leaders like Collins Radio, Sperry Defense Systems, Tektronix, and Intel. Since 1987, he has been involved exclusively with EMI/EMC as a founding partner of Kimmel Gerke Associates, Ltd. Daryl has qualified numerous systems to industrial, commercial, military, medical, vehicular, and related EMI/EMC requirements. Contact these instructors (please mention course name in the subject line) Who Should Attend This seminar is directed at personnel who are wrestling with interference/noise problems in electronic systems at the design level. The following could benefit from this class: Electronics design engineers and technicians Printed circuit board designers EMC test engineers and technicians NO prior EMC experience is necessary or assumed. What you will learn: How to identify, prevent, and fix over 30 common EMI/EMC problems in at the box/design level Simple models and "rules of thumb" and to help you arrive at quick design decisions (NO heavy math). Design impact of various EMC specifications Practical tools, tips, and techniques Good EMI/EMC design practices Course Outline: Introduction Interference Sources, Paths and Receptors Key EMI Design Threats EMI Regulations and Their Impact on Design Physics of EMI Frequency, Time and Dimensions Transmisison Lines and "Hidden" Antennas EMI in Components Looking for the "Hidden Schematic" Passive Components and Their Limitations Simple EMI Filters and How to Design Them EMI Effects in Analog and Digital Circuits Printed Circuit Boards ignal Integrity and EMI Common Mode Emissions Problems Dealing with Clocks and Resets Power Decoupling Isolated and Split Planes I/O Treatments Power Supplies -Common Noise Sources Parasitic Coupling Mechanisms Filters and Transient Protection Grounding & Interconnect Function of a Ground Single Point, Multi-Point and Hybrid Grounds Analog vs Digital Grounds Circuit Board Grounding Internal Cables and Connectors I/O Treatments Shielding - Picking the Right Materials Enclosure Design Techniques Shielded Connectors and Cables ESD Entry Points Design Checklists & Resources EMI Troubleshooting Guidelines (Optional 3rd Day) Eight case studies workshop Tuition: Tuition for the two-day course is $995 per person or $1395 for the full 3-day course at one of our scheduled public courses.
