Integrated circuit electromagnetic susceptibility investigation. Phase 3: IC susceptibility handbook, draft 2

The objective of this handbook is to provide system designers with integrated circuit (IC) susceptibility information in terms of microwave signals. This is the second draft of the IC Handbook for comments from eventual users. The comments on the first draft have been studied and incorporated where possible. The data in this handbook include both interference and damage susceptibility. Both types of susceptibility are evaluated through modeling and testing. Both digital and linear ICs are covered in the handbook. This version includes all data available at the end of the second of three increments. The handbook explains the electromagnetic vulnerability (EMV) hardening approach for electronic systems. On the component level susceptibility reduction techniques such as lossy ferrite materials and screening for less susceptible devices are included. The handbook includes a description of the automated measurement system used to take and analyze the IC susceptibility data. This handbook will provide designers with actual test data when available and modeling techniques to determine susceptibility information where no test data are available.
