Case Studies

EMC Test-chips, low-emission microcontrollers

  • Chapter
Electromagnetic Compatibility of Integrated Circuits

Abstract

This chapter presents a collection of case studies dealing with electromagnetic compatibility of integrated circuits. Emission and susceptibility of microcontrollers from several IC manufacturers are measured using standard methods and predicted using a macro-modeling approach. Specific test chips dedicated to the characterization of internal switching noise and to the validation of low emission design techniques are also described.
