What we saw:    The presentation  covered various design techniques used by Dr. Hardin in  designing two layer PCBs to meet EMC requirements. These techniques are used in various products with processors up to 500MHz and 100MHz data buses. The general topics covered how to manage the spectrum of the sources, logic design problems that cause excessive emissions, component placement and layout techniques.
