Minimizing EMI involves first examining the circuit’s interconnection with its nearest neighbors
since parallel and adjacent lines can interact and cause EMI. It is necessary to maximize the dis-
tance between adjacent parallel wires.
10.3.3.3 Electrostatic Interference
We have discussed two types of coupling, namely inductive and radiative coupling which are re-
sponsible for creating electromagnetic interference. A third, known as capacitive coupling, oc-
curs when two parallel traces are separated by a dielectric and act as a capacitor. According to the
standard capacitor equation, the electric field between the two capacitor surfaces varies with the
permittivity of the dielectric and with the area of the parallel conductors.
