4 The PCB Design Magazine • June 2017 Embedded technology is slowly becoming more prevalent, as technologists begin to take advan- tage of this buried technology. Embedding frees up real estate and eliminates solder joints, which are responsible for so many of the failures in the field. Embedding can also reduce resistance and parasitic inductance, which can lower EMI and improve signal integrity—all positive things for PCB designers.
