Certainly, there are many sources of noise. Of equal certainty is the fact that reducing EMI emissions is a high-priority goal in many system designs. Microcontroller based products such as TVs and video tape recorders are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, for example. Various measures will reduce problems due to EMI. Some you can apply yourself when you design embedded systems. Others can be taken by the manufacturer of the microcontroller that runs your system. Let’s now discuss key techniques you can apply. Later we will cover approaches designers of microcontrollers can use.
