Using op amps to reduce near-field EMI on PCBs

Automotive, industrial, medical, and many other applications use sensitive analog circuits that must perform their function while remaining immune to noise disturbances in their local environment. Many of these disturbances occur on nearby “noisy” circuits located on the same printed circuit board (PCB), while other interference can be picked up by cable interfaces that couple noise onto the PCB and its circuits.

We are all aware about self-driving cars and all exciting projects the automotive industry is engaged but very few have heard about unmanned ship and projects to operate large fleets of vessels navigating from dock to dock without operational crews (Figure 1).
At early stage but projects such as Maritime Unmanned Navigation Through Intelligence In Networks (MUNIN) investigated feasibility and test-bed development for future developments.
Considering unmanned ships will require extreme reliability from the main generator to single point-of-load, challenges placed on power designers will be far beyond anything we knew.
