The RK3588 core board is a widely used 8K flagship SoC chip from Rockchip, and it is one of the domestic chips frequently used by many electronic engineers. When using the RK3588, EMC issues often arise. So, how can we reduce these EMC problems? 1. Mold Isolation Design Connectors should be recessed as much as … Read more
With the emergence of high-speed DSP (Digital Signal Processors) and peripherals, new product designers face an increasingly severe threat from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Initially, the issues of transmission and interference were referred to as EMI or RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Now, a more definitive term, “interference compatibility,” is used instead. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) encompasses both … Read more
01 Power Layout and Wiring Digital circuits often require non-continuous current, which can cause surge currents in some high-speed devices. If the power routing is long, the surge current can lead to high-frequency noise, which can then couple into other signals. In high-speed circuits, parasitic inductance, parasitic resistance, and parasitic capacitance are inevitable, so this … Read more
The PCB routing work is like a connect-the-dots game for many engineers, and it can be a very tedious task. This is actually just a basic understanding; a proficient PCB design engineer can accomplish much more and solve many problems in product design. This article combines some design rules from major manufacturers and several technical … Read more

Introduction I2C bus is a two-wire, bidirectional serial bus, particularly suitable for communication between ICs on or between boards. To meet system safety specifications, avoid noise signal interference during communication, and prevent damage to sensitive components, it is necessary to incorporate I2C isolator devices into the system. Today, I would like to recommend a domestic … Read more
