Integrated circuit electromagnetic susceptibility investigation, phase 3

This report summarizes progress made in investigations into the RF susceptibility of integrated circuits (ICs). This report covers the work performed during the third of three increments. Included is a description of the revisions which were incorporated into the Integrated Circuit Electromagnetic Susceptibility Handbook (Report MDC E1929 dated 1 August 1978) which summarized all of the information obtained during the entire program in a handbook format for use by designers and EMC engineers. Results of tests of the susceptibilities of integrated circuits performed during this increment are described. Models of rectification in PN junctions developed during this increment are described. Simulations of interference effects in TTL NAND gates and 741 OP AMPs are included using computer-aided circuit analysis techniques and a modified Ebers-Moll transistor model which includes interference effects. Jitter effects due to RF interference in data transmission systems are discussed. This report includes a brief description of two Electromagnetic Susceptibility Seminars which were held during this increment.
