Basic problems of the EMC Source (Emitter) Coupling (Path) Load (Receiver) Do not generate any disturbances: Choose the right components Good concepts Shielding Do not give any disturbances to the environment: Reduce radiation Reduce conducted emission Do not get any disturbances of the environment: Protect sensors Shielding 18
Advantageous Quality of EMC The mechanism of EMC react similarly: Chip level Board level Device level System level Buildings 19

What are critical signals? Clock signals Video signals Fast digital signals Long lines Analogue signals In- / Output signals di/dt Power lines Lines with high currents Reset lines 42
Critical lines: Reflections Reflections arises by not correctly determined Signal Lines Open line Short-circuit A serial impedance at the beginning of the line reduces high frequencies and the harmonics Open line Short-circuit 43
Critical lines: Reflections (2) Z1 Z2 C Z3 Version 1: Z1 = 100 Ω; C = 100 pf; Z2 = 0 Ω. Z3 = Nothing Applicable for clock lines up to 20 MHz. Be careful: Check the level of the signal! Version 2: Z1 = 100 Ω; C = 100 pf; Z2 = 100 Ω. Z3 = Nothing Applicable for clock lines up to 60 MHz. Version 3: Z1 = Ferrite bead; C = 100 pf; Z2 = 0 Ω. Z3 = Nothing Applicable for Display signals: TFT-Displays Advantage: Ferrite beads have a smaller phase shift. 44
