Summary

q Short trace interconnection (in SiP) solves most of the SI concern

q V/G plane analysis takes more important role for CSP age system

q Reduced EMI design is base on “Supply decoupling.” (for Single chip MPU)

q NF-Scanner shows us locations generating “Common mode” current

q Direct connection to V/G plane for CSP (BGA) is not recommended

q Feed-through Capacitor is a good solution for CSP’s decoupling

saving space, great decoupling capability, making sense (cents)

q PCB design locating RF current trace adjacent to Gnd (return) path

reduces emission. (ex. FC-SiP)
