  4. Specific Units THE “EMC” WAY OF THINKING

  5. Specificunits Distinguish contributions of small harmonics dB Volt Freq (Log) Time Cover very large bandwidth Frequency measurement Fourier transform Spectrum analyser AMPLITUDE IN DB VS. FREQUENCY IN LOG Time domain measurement Oscilloscope

  7. Specific units Power (Watt) Power (dBm) 1 MW 1 KW 1 W 1 mW Exercise: Specific units 1 µW 1 mV = ___ dBµV 1 W = ___ dBm 1 nW EMISSION AND SUSCEPTIBILITY LEVEL UNITS Power Units The most common power unit is the “dBm” (dB milli-Watt) IC-EMC: 0dbm in 50  Tools > dB/Unit converter

  8. LC Resonance THE CHIP IS A LC RESONATOR f= ___ • DSPIC33F DIE ALONE Impedance (Ω) Tools > LC resonance Eurodots > z11-dspic-vdd_10-vss_9.z Impedance measurement between Vdd and Vss Frequency (Hz)

  9. Radiating Element RADIATED EMISSION • Elementary “Hertz” current dipole. • Short wire with a length << λ , crossedby a sinusoidalcurrentwith a constant amplitude Io h

  10. Radiating Element NEAR FIELD/FAR FIELD • Close to the antenna • Far from the antenna Near-field region Far-field region • Radiating field (TEM wave) • E and H decreases in 1/r • Non radiating field (non TEM wave) • E and H decreases rapidly in 1/r³ 100 MHz : Rlimit =____

  11. LC Resonance THE BOARD IS A RESONATOR • The VDD/VSS plate acts as a capacitor Impedance (Ω) Eurodots > z11-board-d21on.z Frequency (Hz)

  15. Notion of margin Parasitic emission (dBµV) Nominal Level Design Objective WHY A MARGIN ? • To ensure low parasitic emission ICs supplier has to adopt margins • Margin depends on the application domain

  16. Notion of margin INFLUENT PARAMETERS ON IC EMC • The variability between components induce a dispersion of emission and susceptibility level. Radiated emission in TEM cell of a 16 bit microcontroller PIC18F2480. Measurement of 12 samples and extraction of emission level dispersion. • The temperature of a circuit has a direct impact on the switching time of internal devices. When temperature increases, the high frequency content of the emission spectrum tends to be reduced. Std deviation = 1.7 dB K. P. Slattery et al., “Modeling the radiated emissions from microprocessors and other VLSI devices”, IEEE Symp. on EMC, 2000. H. Huang and A. Boyer (LAAS-CNRS)

  17. Notion of margin INFLUENT PARAMETERS ON IC EMC • MOS device characteristics fluctuate by +/- 30 % • Ageing may significantly alter EMC performances Ioff/Ion MOS 32-nm PhD A. C. Ndoye, INSA, 2010 Immunity vs. ageing (LTOL)

Conclusion • Specific units used in EMC have been detailed • The current dipole is the base for radiated emission • The Emission Spectrum has been described • Susceptibility Threshold, margins have been discussed • The notion of impedance has been introduced • Characteristic impedance of cables lead to specific values • Discrete components used in the experimental board have been modeled up to 1 GHz
