Abstract

The functional behavior of an electronic device is represented by an idealized circuit. Undesired parasitic interactions, such as electromagnetic-compatibility (EMC) problems, are modeled by additional lumped elements in the circuit. Device design parameters, e.g. partial inductances, must be optimized to improve EMC. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis method which relates changes to circuit parameters to changes to 3D model parameters.
