Burst immunity tests according to IEC 1000-4-4 standard used to improve design of a new integrated power function

Abstract

Any electronics application has to satisfy immunity requirements concerning electromagnetic perturbations. This immunity can be ratified by the IEC 1000-4-4 standard, which does not allow for the testing of a single device. In order to achieve the results, we had to design a test method. The results we got from a new integrated power function are satisfactory for they confirm the reliability of the device and allow us to keep or improved the design.
