System-on-chip (SoC) and WiFi radio co-existence risk becomes increasing and has to be mitigated to support increasing data throughput requirement. Scalable package RFI filter solutions are studied for 5-GHz and future 6-GHz WiFi applications in the paper. Conventional RFI mitigation solutions have been investigated in package and board levels by on-board shielding and decoupling filter strategies. However, the solutions depend on PCB designs and RF component characteristics. Scalability and effectiveness of the solutions are therefore limited. In this study, an inductive meander structure is implemented at ground pad of the RF capacitor and allows tailoring effective filter frequency, which improves scalability of the package RFI filter solution. In addition, integrated package LC filter is designed with meander inductors and comb capacitor and shows effective filter frequency of 6.72 GHz and GHz-noise reduction of about 8 dB. This work provides effective and scalable gigahertz on-die clock noise mitigation solutions for WiFi applications.","PeriodicalId":137753,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity (EMC+SIPI)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125250571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EM is caused by large currents flowing in metals and the resulting mean time to failure (MTTF) is highly dependent on the maximum current value. We here propose a scheme for fast and accurate prediction of the maximum current on the ball grid arrays (BGAs) in a package given the pin current information of the die. The proposed scheme uses neural networks to learn the resistance network of the package and achieve the non-linear current mapping. The fast prediction tool can be used for analysis and design exploration of the pin assignment on the die level.","PeriodicalId":137753,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity (EMC+SIPI)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127488544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with the increased power density, components are positioned closer to each other, which increase the concerns of near field coupling. In non-isolated power converters, inductors are identified as major sources of electric field. This paper develops a fundamental theoretical model to quantify the relationship between helical windings and the near electric field. The developed theoretical model reveals that the inductors with helical winding structure will become an unintentional antenna that generate near electric field. It is recognized in this paper the geometric parameters such as the winding radius and the distance between winding layers are factors that influence the electric near field. The theoretical model is verified through the experiments and ANSYS HFSS simulations. Based on the model, the near electric field can be reduced by winding structure design.","PeriodicalId":137753,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity (EMC+SIPI)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132750266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason performance tests have been developed to characterize the symmetry of baluns. We draw a distinction between symmetry and balance as they relate to baluns and describe both quantitatively in terms of 3-port network parameters. It is shown that a symmetric balun alone does not necessarily eliminate common-mode (CM) current on the feed transmission line. Common-mode current on the feed transmission line is minimized by use of a current balun. However, for a given implementation such as transmission-line transformer some types of baluns are more difficult to implement than others and an imperfect, asymmetric current balun may perform worse than another type of balun (e.g. voltage) which is more symmetric.","PeriodicalId":137753,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity (EMC+SIPI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129220150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods include ionizers, cold plasma, humidity, exposure of the electrodes to UV light, different electrode materials, and surface shapes. Most of these methods reduce the variations of the spark currents. However, only some can be implemented during testing.
