Ground bounce as an extreme case of crosstalk
Design structures that can strongly contribute to EMI failures

Eric Explains “transparent interconnect”
Best measurement practice and routing correctly
Is an Arduino board really for beginners?
EMI Problems caused by split planes—the trifecta, you get reflection noise, you get crosstalk noise, you get EMI noise out of it
Eric Bogatin, Steve Sandler, and Larry Smith debunked PCB design myths and legends—the Myth of Three Capacitor Values
Power integrity becoming Signal Integrity
What is Rad-hard?
Reliability concerns in aerospace technology and automotive systems
Fiber in vehicle and fiber base radar could be the solution

Eric answers, What do you think about right-angle traces?
