I can't stress enough how valuable this content is for the community.
Thank you very much Paul
I agree. I'm just a hobbyist, but now I realize there is a lot of mis-leading electronics information on the internet. People were told information that they did not fully understand, then details were lost when that information was passed on to the next person. If you use a Xerox machine to make a copy of a copy of a copy, you'll have no information left in the end.
@@abandonedcranium6592 I also watch Phill's lab. It's an amaizing channel too. I wonder if this channel and that could do a combined video.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
Wow. This was such a kick ass video. Hard concepts explained in a very intuitive way.
Thank you very much Ian
My thoughts exactly, amazing representation! Wish I learned many years ago. I mostly do low frequency digital circuits, but for some of the higher frequency communications this could be a life saver!
That was an amazing and very enlightening video ! Well done Robert ! I would also love to see more PCB design examples : good practices and bad practices in 4-layer boards, what happens in 2-layer boards and if anything makes sense in one-layer boards. Also how to keep any DC tracks noise free. Keep the good work, thank you !
Thank you for being such a sweet host. Thank you to the guest speaker as well; he seems like such an honestly sweet learned man. This is all very heartwarming to see such high quality lectures for free. Thank you so much 🙏🙏
quite clear and slow pace, friendly to beginners.
I had this idea in mind since I was 15 years old and told myself that the voltage must gradually get throuth the conductor, not magically be there all at once. Now I finally see the details.
Thank you both.
Much of this was over my head, but it helped me understand the complexities of designing PCBs and not garbling a signal.
Thanks, again.
Bogatin is the man! Great choice of guest. 👍
Thank you Jeffrey
Absolutely fascinating! Anytime two great engineers have a discussions like this, we're going to learn a lot.
Thank you Kent
What an Amazing Video! Kudos to everyone who has put in the effort to put this together. As Robert rightly pointed out that most of the folks including me getting into the field of electronics believe that return current is the current that leaves the negative terminal and goes into ground, but now i have a much better understanding! Thankyou
Eric Bogatin + Robert Feranec = the best of signal integrity ! thank you!!
I thought I knew how to layout a board because I've been gaining experience, but this video shows me how little I know, so far. Thanks for giving me something to sink my teeth into. This is the most important layout video subject matter I've been able to find. I now need to produce a new better layout for my PCB project, after seeing this.
Discouraging is the word for it.
Robert you are awesome. Appreciate you spending so much time and effort making content for all of us. Thank you!!
Many times I come back to this video to refresh my memory, really great master class!! Thanks Robert❤
Hobbyist here thank you for the info I've never been to school everything is self taught and videos like this are invaluable to someone like me. You guys are talking about stuff I've never even thought of but now that I've seen it that image of running returns over gaps and all the static will never leave my brain after this. When I'm making pcb's in the future I will apply all of this thank you.
This really helped a lot sir, although i might cannot fully understand the whole video at once but it actually gives me a intuition of how is current flowing through a microscrip line. Thanks for your dedication of works in this video! Especially that current flowing with a gap plane graph, this saved me so much time to understand it! !
Your videos are amazing and inspiring at the same time; to go a step ahead in learning more about PCBs. Eric's talk has been an eye opener towards practicality of how a transmission line works and in his words "there's a lot to signal integrity".
Thanks a lot Robert and Eric. Very Nicely explained, very nicely laid out presentation. The visuals are awesome, kudos to the person in Japan. I learned a lot from this today.
Appreciate your effort and the way the terminologies are explained. Really loved it
It is difficult to believe that such kind of videos are now available for free. Thanks a lot , Robert. Now because of you i know who is Eric Bogatin.
Outstanding video! Thank you alot, Robert and Eric! I really enjoy watching these kind of videos. There is a lot to learn!
Thank you very much
wow, I so much appreciate the explanation of the impact of the dielectric thickness (h) in transmission line design.
Thanks Eric. I enjoyed learning about how we have to dive deeper into the concept of fields to understand the return currents.
Hi Robert, thank you very much for creating these informative videos and also thank you to your guests for sharing their knowledge. I always want to learn more to improve my pcb design skills and understanding of electronics. I really appreciate all the effort that you put in. Always looking forward to your videos.
Kind regards from South Africa

It was very helpful with your pauses in the video to give clarifications, Robert! Thank you!
I think this channel is very under-rated. The information I learned from you are very practical.
this is because less people are interested in complicated stuff, most people just need cat's videos
Robert, thank you a lot. You just gave me a clear picture on how return current flows and where it flows.
It is always great to hear Eric!!
Love these videos and the call format, high quality stuff
This was an awesome presentation. Thanks Eric and Robert.
Only 1 years with saw your all video...My Hardware Design skill made 10x better and my company when saw my hardware they made Surprised !...Thank a lot...love you...
Excellent presentation! More please!
thank you Mr. Robert and Eric Bigatin. it was very useful
OMG... this cleared up so many things for me. Every student should watch this!
Thank you Robert and Eric
Great video! The concepts are very well explained. Thank you Robert and Dr. Bogatin!
Thanks for your videos, it really helps me to increase my understanding when designing PCB.
Since the beginning of these videos, I check almost every day if a new one has been published ! I have read about these concepts many times, I tried to apply them as much as I could in several PCB designs but it is the first time that they start to all make sense together in my head. I'm super curious also about the test boards he talks about to illustrate those principles ! Thank you for the videos :)
Thank you very much Alexis PS: I also made a note about the boards ... if it will be possible, I would be very interested to make some videos from real measurements.
Absolutely quality stuff..thanks Robert this was really brilliant conversation..please make more such content.. eagerly waiting..
Thanks for this in-depth video. Keep posting. Thanks to Eric🤗
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!
Wow this was such an eye opener, very glad I saw this. I think anybody interested in electronics should see this video. I have never seen it explained so good!
WOW!! This was a great video that demystified a lot! THANK YOU!
Wonderful video. Cemented various concepts what I had only visualized in my head.
Thank you very much Katupiry
Differential pairs returning mainly via the gnd plane was a real eye-opener for me. Thanks!
Thanks Robert, these videos are pure gold.
very much valuable content thanks to Mr.Eric & Mr. Robert
Great sharing !!!
your videos always informative and you added Eric that is wonderful.
Thanks a lot Robert and Eric, the video was very interesting !

Unlearn what you have learned. Thanks Robert & Eric for doing such a great job. You people are amazing . :)
Hi, Robert.
This video convinced me to enter to Eric’s SI class.
Thank you
I definitely learned a lot from this video. Thanks a lot both of you. Eric Bogatin you're awesome.
This is really good. I actually have been struggling implementing 10/100 mbps ethernet with RMII and this video made me realize few bad design decisions on my latest board. Subscribed!
Nice! Helped me understand the importance of the ground plan
thankyou for shareing this in conversation
Great subject with great explanation!
Thank you Robert, awesome video.
Very, very interesting discussion! Thank you to you and to Eric!
Thank you very much sm6eik
@Robert, great work, and this whole idea of talking to domain experts and bringing their insights to a larger audience are really really great. @Eric, no words, I can't imagine if someone else can explain signal integrity better than him.
Thank you very much Chethan
Congratulations to both of you Robert and Eric! Great video! Robert continue this kind of videos!
Thank you George
Super video!!! I liked you 100 quick tips video series, but this series is superior!! Thanks, Robert.
Thank you very much guillep2k
gotta love this! awesome.. and super you got Eric into this!
Thank you Paul
Very Informative video, especially with the contribution of such a great figure as mr. ERIC BOGATIN. We are waiting to see more . Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you Annacer
Awesome! Great educational contents, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. It’s the fundamentals of science. 🙏
Great video like many other of you ! All help to improve reliability or fault rate of a product.
I have been working on this stuff and related EMC behaviour for a few years.
I learned, that the return current for higher frequencies does not look for the lowest ohmic return path, but looks for a return path that will include the smallest enclosed area available.
So make a design, which facilitates this 'starting point' ; no gaps, short tracks, good (cable) shielding etc. You improve cross talk, but also minimize susceptibility for external electrical fields by minimalisation of the current loop size (including grounding). In our equipment we improved susceptibility for more than 40 dB for the higher frequencies, which we measured in our own very big EMC test lab. It was amazing to focus on these aspects of electronics, although it is 25 years ago now. Last remark .... a good design needs proper design of electronics, mechanics and interconnections (connectors an cabling). Teamwork !
Excellent as always! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks a lot Robert for a great and valuable discussion video ever...👍👍
Great video !!! Thanks to robert and eric, looking forward to more such videos
Thank you gankankg
Robert thank you for adding your insight at 13:44, this did help me understand the propagation a bit more. I dont see how that interpretations is incorrect either.
Nice presentation, thank you.
It was a very informative video. Eric explained the stuff quite well from theoretical as well as practical aspects of PCB design.
Hi robert! I am an engineering student, I would like to thank you for providing us great content! This was very helpful! Thank you!
he explain simple and sufficient and I loved it.thanks a lot
This video had opened my eyes, while blowing my mind. It gives me a bit of understanding of phenomenons that stands behind some electronic aplications obserwed in real life. Your video helped me to join some loose dots🙃
Very interesting! Thanks for bringing us this kind of videos
Thank you very much Jorge
Finally I understand it! Many thanks to you both
Thank you very much Stephen
wow Robert, the videos dedicated to Signal Integrity are very useful. When I read "Eric Bogatin" I immediately put a like. I hope to see many more videos with Eric Bogatin.
Other protagonists of these videos I suggest you "Rick Hartley".
Thank you very much MauroNzt
Eric is a master at explanation!
Thanks to Eric and you Robert, to teach signal integrity to profesional designs. Regards from Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you Leonardo
It took me 2 hours to understand the whole discussion. It is worth it. I respect you both. Thank you. :)
Thank you Garima PS: Sometimes I still keep learning new things even I have watched the talks number of times before
Great video Robert, explained so well man. Thank you and be safe!
Thank you Edgar. PS: Stay safe too
Excellent presentation. Wish I had seen this earlier.
Great video as always! Thanks to both of you!
Thank you very much Patrick
AWESOME. Very cool, thanks for sharing some great info!
Very very interesting as usual, now we (you) are moving more deeper in concept and I'm happy to see more and more participants. Great idea to get others experts involved. Maybe Dr Rick Hartley next time ?
Thanks you Robert !
That's super good. Thanks Eric. Thank you.
Really good stuff Robert.
Eric Bogatin has a great and unique way of explaining things in a simple and accurate way! I would have been extreamly lucky if he was one of my teachers.
Great explanation. Thanks a lot. Please do more videos
many things I have learned today ,thank you
I like this video style. Very educational and very well explained.
Thank you Adam
WOW! WOW! This subject is super important. I've built circuits with multiple frequencies such as a microcontroller, with a wireless connection, with a PWM signal, with an SPI module... I thought a large ground plane was enough. I have to consider capacitances, inductances, current wave fronts...
l have to put this video on a playlist. Thanks for posting!
Very informative, thanks.
Robert, you are the best! Keep up the good work...
Wow, so much to consider. Thank you.
Very good topic. Thanks for sharing
Thank you
Thank you very much for this video!!!
Great video. Thank you
Please do more videos like this. Great work!
such an interesting conversation! so much fundamental understanding which is very valuable!
Thank you very much Oizys
