Topic/Speaker: "PCB EMC Design Guidelines: A Brief Annotated List" - Prof. Todd Hubing University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) Details: Some of the worst printed circuit board design choices are made by engineers who are trying to comply with a list of EMC design guidelines. At the University of Missouri-Rolla, students working with a list of 40 "good" EMC design guidelines tend to produce board layouts that are worse than layouts produced by students with no access to guidelines. Nevertheless, a short prioritized list of design guidelines can be helpful at times. This presentation reviews some of the more general EMC design guidelines for printed circuit board layout and attempts to categorize them as good, bad or indifferent. About the Presenter: Todd Hubing received his B.S.E.E. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980, his M.S.E.E. degree from Purdue University in 1982, and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1988. From 1982 to 1989, he was employed in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory, IBM Communications Products Division, in Research Triangle Park, NC. In 1989, he decided that he wanted to spend less time fixing EMC problems and more time trying to understand them, so he left IBM to join the faculty at the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR). He is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UMR and part of a team of faculty and students working to solve a wide range of EMC problems affecting the electronics industry. Prof. Hubing teaches the "Grounding and Shielding" and "High-Speed Digital Design" courses at UMR, where he has received several awards for teaching and faculty excellence. He's been an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on EMC and the Journal of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society. He is currently the President of the IEEE EMC Society.
