Abstract

An apparatus and method for minimizing electromagnetic interference in a microcomputing system. The apparatus and method of the present invention are based on the fundamental aspect of providing an EMI shield specifically dimensioned to receive a microprocessor within the microcomputing system. The apparatus and method of the present invention are further based on the aspect of providing at least one ferrite bead along a power delivery path to attenuate any high-frequency leakage current from the microprocessor that results at the resonant frequencies of the EMI shield.
