tions in the controlled impedance and results in reflections and a possible increase in EMI emissions.
• Leave the outer edges of the pcb (approximately 200 mils) voided on all layers to minimize fringe effects that could
otherwise contribute to EMI emissions.
• Other than the chassis ground area, keep the system ground plane as a single uninterrupted plane of maximum area
to create a low impedance path for all return currents. This will also help control EMI emissions.
• Connect all power and ground pins directly to their respective planes via large and/or multiple vias. Avoid routing traces
for power and ground pin connections.
