How to Solve the EMI Problem of Multi Layer PCB
There are many ways to solve the problem of EMI, modern EMI suppression method includes: using EMI inhibiting coating, the selection of appropriate EMI suppression of spare parts and EMI simulation design etc.. This paper from the most basic PCB layout of PCB layer stack in the control of radiation EMI and design skills discussion.
Power Bus
In IC power supply pin near arrange appropriate capacity of the capacitor, the IC output voltage jump faster. However, problems are not hereto. Due to the capacitance is limited frequency response characteristics, which makes the capacity not in the whole band generation clean driving IC output harmonic power. In addition, the transient voltage of power bus is formed in a decoupled path across the inductor will form a voltage drop, the transient voltage is the main common mode EMI interference source.
Electromagnetic Shielding;
From the signal go line, good hierarchical strategy should put all the signal wire is placed in a layer or a plurality of layers. These layers next to the power layer and ground layer. For the power, good hierarchical strategy should power layer and ground layer adjacent and power layer and ground stratigraphic distances as small, this is, we talk about the "layered" strategy.
PCB stack
What stacking strategies help to shield and suppress the EMI following a hierarchical stacking scheme assumes that the supply current flows in a single layer, a single voltage or multi voltage distribution in the different parts of the same layer.

FR4 PCB would never be beaten down by FR1
Fr4 PCB is mostly used in pcb manufacture. Fr4 pcb is mainly used in double side pcb or multilayer pcb. The cost is much expensive than Fr1. Nowadays more and more prodcut turns to use Fr1. Do you think Fr1 would go to replace the Fr4?
Obviously , the answer is no. Fr4 is more advanced material in products. People would consider the usage of the product to choose the suitable material. Although the price is main factor to effect the choice, fr4 has its special usage in the pcb production. Fr1 is used in very simple products. Actually, fr1 can be only used in single layer pcb. If you look into the products you may find that the electronic is more advanced and many of them is above 2 layers. Now the requirement of high technical,high density is in the current world. So fr4 would never be replaced by fr1.
Fr4 pcb has the following advantage:
Good mechanical strength and excellent workability, good mechanical properties, abrasion,acid and alkali.

PCB Wiring Principle
PCB board is based on the PCB circuit design, so PCB line layout becomes particularly important, the general layout of the PCB line needs to comply with the following principles:
1. According to the electrical performance of a reasonable partition, is generally divided into: digital circuit area (that is, afraid of interference, and interference), analog circuit area (afraid of interference), power drive area.
2. Complete the same function of the circuit, should be placed close to the place, and adjust the components to ensure that the connection is the most concise; at the same time, adjust the relative position between the functional blocks to make the connection between the functional blocks of the most concise;
3. For the quality of components should consider the installation location and installation intensity; heating elements should be placed separately with the temperature sensitive components, it is necessary to consider the thermal convection;
4. I/o driver as close as possible to the printing plate edge near the lead connector;
5. The clock generator (such as: crystal oscillator or clock oscillator) device should be as close as possible to use the clock.
6. In each integrated circuit between the power input pin and ground, the need to add a decoupling capacitor (usually with a good high frequency performance of the monolithic capacitor); circuit board space is more dense, but also in a few integrated circuits around the addition of a tantalum capacitor.
7. Relay coil to add discharge diode (1N4148 is ok);
8. Layout requirements should be balanced and orderly density, not top-heavy or a heavy head.
Strict adherence to the principles of PCB wiring is the basis for the design of the best PCB board.
