[@zhitailiu3876]

Every hardware engineer should watch this video! Totally life saver!

[@RobertFeranec]

Thank you Zhitai

[@DarianCabot]

Can we just take a second to appreciate how much trouble Min went to when researching the power supply example and creating these slides. Robert is asking some very good questions, and Min shows an exquisite understand of the DUT from his in-house "pre-compliance" configuration. I'm part way through Min's paid online EMC training course, and I can say his attention to detail and ability to explain things in practical terms is a hallmark.

Absolutely fantastic video Robert and Min. More like this please!

[@RobertFeranec]

Thank you very much Simon

[@weeeeehhhhh]

@@RobertFeranec I really like the interview techniques here too. It can be hard for someone as knowledgeable as Min Zhang not to skip over detail which he takes for granted, you did a great job of presenting all the detail

[@majdithouabtia5582]

Thank you for bringing experts who can show us experiments and not only talking about theory. This guy just goes straight to the point and that's usefull! Big like and respect for such people!

[@dominiqueguelordingala1935]

A very good demonstration. And I'm most happy with you Robert as you asked almost all the questions on the behalf of many. Excellent video.

[@____________________________.x]

I've often asked other channels to measure the noise of these convertors, so it's really useful to see it done here at last. This should help my problem with using one in a car, as it's interfering with the radio. Thanks

[@erikmjelde4428]

I am so glad I found your channel. You have been filling my brain with all kinds of PRACTICAL knowledge after recently completing my BSEE.

[@Packer1290]

What blew me away is we are often focused on filtering the switcher output. I'm shocked by how important it was to filter the front end.

[@rewq7041]

Excellent video. I have spent two weeks to collect and watch all these information and techniques about EMI/EMC and PCB layout of a buck converter before watching this. The video is definitely a great short and detail summary of showing how to complete your EMI debug and filter design.

[@husseinfahema6548]

Excellent video. The intro, theory, process, simulation, measurements, setup... all great. Thank you!

[@Violator420]

I recently had an issue passing CE102 from 300KHz to 1MHz. I decided to come to youtube to find help and came across this wonderful video. I would like to thank you and Min for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge. Turns out, simply increasing the total input capacitance was enough to be below the limit!! THANK YOU!!!😃

[@Violator420]

This is one of the most important videos in my career

[@cadd4276]

Thanks so much to Min for the great slides, and for taking the time to apply the improvements incrementally and reveal the various noise contributors. So insightful. Thanks for organizing this, Robert. I really hope to see more videos featuring Min. The intro, theory, process, simulation, measurements, setup, slides were great. Thank you!

[@arunpant1723]

A gem from you Robert, amazing explanation in such a simple way step by step by Min. Would love to have more such practical case studies. Also tekbox LISN for measuring common mode & differential mode performance is very helpful. I learned that for the first time, didn't knew before about it. Thanks for the amazing content.

[@MrYamashici]

Wow such quality content for free. What a time to be alive!

[@kestralzoe9310]

It is so nice that we can watch this kinda talk video for free, thanks to Robert. I am sure it's gonna cost a good amount of money to have a workshop outside with all the juicy content like this.

[@MachOneDesignEMC]

Many thanks!

[@barkingmadd9631]

This is an amazing AMAZING video, so much useful guidance crammed into an hour and a bit. I have watched it twice so far and plan to watch it again to really get my head around some of the details. Thanks so much to Min for the great slides, and for taking the time to apply the improvements incrementally and tease apart the various noise contributors. So informative. Thanks for organizing this Robert. I really hope to see more videos featuring Min. Awesome.

[@kennethng8346]

Long but seriously worth it. I like the details and showing changes at each stage and explainations of what is happening.

[@Gengh13]

Thanks for continuing to be an invaluable resource to all PCB designers.

[@Necrocidal]

Always great when recommendations come with empirical data to back them! Thanks!

[@doctortinker407]

just 10 mins into the videos and understanding everything no confusion happened for me and its really clear and simple thanks min and absolutely you for making this videos.

[@johnyang799]

In the past 2 months I watched this video many times. This is extremely well demonstrated. I wish there's more video like this. Especially in PCB design. Like improving a relatively bad pcb design step by step to superb in both signal integrity and emi.

[@Christe4N]

Thanks Robert, it's so good to see it demonstrates like that. Thank you both for the effort put on this call and video

[@RobertFeranec]

Thank you very much Christe4N

[@Halabaloosa]

Extremely clarifying, great video!

[@evangelosliakos3190]

Amazing analysis and discussion! I learnt a lot from that! Thanks Robert for arranging and uploading.

[@jacovanzyl6424]

Don’t go for EMC/EMI testing before watching this video…… extremely well explained!

[@conesillyvalley7182]

U r assuming that all pcbs were designed like the one in discussion, I am designing smps for military applications for many yrs and these basic mistakes are never done

[@burkantorun]

I learn so much from your videos and interviews. Thank you

[@yulongutk]

This is a fantastic lesson! I am doing DC-DC from chip to PCB. It is very helpful! Thank you guys so much!

[@JohnSmith-iu8cj]

This video is pure gold. Thank you so much!

[@andrewschiessl9941]

This was an extremely useful video! The topic is relevant for almost all products as the power supply is a critical piece of the design. Looking forward to more EMC videos as these topics are typically overlooked in college/universities.

[@spacebraincircuits1358]

This is incredibly helpful! Great to see real world applications. thank you!

[@rjordans]

Quite happy to recognize most of these techniques, still, thanks for the great overview Min and Robert!

[@preet2692]

Thank you Robert and Min, for a thoroughly enjoyable discussion and break down of the approach to troubleshoot EMC problems. More videos in this format please! :-)

[@suatyildirmaz9229]

I think this is the best video about EMC debugging on KZbin. Thank you Robert and Min. Well done.

[@stefperez8244]

Thanks Robert, I love this kind of video. Very useful to learn the EMC "fight".

[@Lasseu]

Thank you, this was super useful for me. Very interesting. Thank you Min 😊

[@cmtevega]

Another great video!! Congrats Robert!!

[@eljeffo2871]

Awesome video! Thanks to both of you!

[@kavehramezani2071]

I was trying to design a buck converter for an automotive application and suddenly saw this video on youtube. it's so useful. tanks a lot and I can't wait for another video about EMC.

[@aminajemi3985]

Thank you for this session. Please keep enlightening us.

[@drewbrit10]

I love that buck converter. It was my first PCB to reverse engineer, so this video really relates to what I know about it's layout.

[@millomaker]

Thank you for this video, I learn a lot :)

[@sigfreed11]

This is a great video to demonstrate the basics of Power Distribution Networks 👍🏻

[@mateuszlipinski]

This time perfect in point! Thank You!

[@wei48221]

Thank you for making this very high-quality and invaluable video.

[@Necrocidal]

My levels of watching these videos: 1. Audio in the background while working, occasional Alt+Tab if stuff sounds interesting 2. Dedicated watching because it sounded interesting during the day 3. Re-watching with a notepad to take notes / draw up tables / etc

[@itskram4849]

Fantastic video. Should be mandatory viewing for every engineer.

[@edmilsonsantos2295]

Great video, Robert! Make more videos with Min, please.

[@mehmetdincturk9496]
