An overview of digital circuit design and PCB design guidelines - An EMC perspective

There is a revolution in modern digital ICs &PCB designs and their usage triggers the need for better understanding of PCB design [ apart from digital circuit design ] in detail. Design of digital circuits need special cares with respect to EMC and hence the associated mounting of components besides PCB design layout. These aspects are addressed in this paper with Check list in the form of detailed design guidelines for both areas. Also the current trend and future challenges in PCB design for next generation ELECTRONICS are discussed in brief.
