Abstract

An EMI reduction device is coupled between a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and a heat sink. The PCB assembly includes a processor core that is the source of unintentional electromagnetic interference (EMI). The EMI reduction device is attached to a heat sink which is positioned over the processor core such that it capacitively couples emissions from the processor core to a grounding plane resident in the PCB assembly, thereby reducing the unintentional EMI. Simultaneously, the EMI reduction device is able to maintain thermal contact with the heat sink.
