Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) soldered on printed circuit board (PCB) are known to be a main source of acoustic noise. The PCB in these devices feature hundreds of MLCCs. In this paper, a measurement methodology to identify the major vibrating MLCCs on board is presented. Laser Doppler vibrometer scanning result is used to find the dominant MLCC source. The correlation between board vibration and acoustic noise is confirmed with microphone probe. As a result of the piezoelectric properties of MLCCs, the root cause of the vibration is analyzed from an electric point of view. The problematic MLCCs are find to share the same power line which renders the same noise peaks as in the vibration and sound pressure measurements. After replacing the vibrating MLCCs with low acoustic noise MLCCs, the board clearly shows decreased level of vibration.","PeriodicalId":137753,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity (EMC+SIPI)","volume":"9 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":"128354585","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}

A radiated emission model of this noise source was established to investigate design factors. Multiple emissions scans were performed in two separate semi-anechoic chambers located in different facilities in order to test the repeatability of this noise source. Measurement results indicated that the noise source has very good repeatability and that it can serve as a reference noise source. The results were also used to evaluate the maturity of the simulation technology, as well as, to quantify the difference between chambers.","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":"131243999","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}

The algorithm relies on 2 denoising techniques. Firstly the “average signal method” is used to get an estimation of the noise power. An average signal (AS) is computed across 4 consecutive periods of the polluted signal (SP). A “per period” evaluation of the noise (NP) is then performed by subtracting AS from each period of SP. Each NP is divided into 6 equal subintervals, getting sets of 6 estimated noise signals (NS) for each period. The values of standard deviation (SD) are computed considering the absolute values of local peaks for all NS-s. 3 metrics were used to evaluate the power of estimated noises: NS’s power (PNS), SD and the average value of NS (ANS). The minimum value (P) of PNS across all subintervals from a dataset (DS) represents the estimated power of the noise associated to DS. P is used in the 2-nd stage of the algorithm – denoising with a wavelet based thrashing tree (TT). The TT’s number of levels is determined considering the best match between the power of noises yielded by TT and P. The algorithm was additionally validated by proving that all the minimum values of PNS appear only for subintervals associated to almost minimum values of SD and almost zero values of ANS. The original hybrid algorithm yielded reliable results for all datasets.","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":"126842013","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}

The measured S-parameters and TDR data are found to exhibit behaviors unlike those typically observed in PCB interconnects. The odd behaviors are due to the so-called slow-wave mode of propagation. This effect occurs below 1 GHz and manifests itself by very large losses in the stack-up and a low propagation velocity. The frequency dependent model and the measurements are found to correlate well in frequency and time-domains.","PeriodicalId":137753,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal & Power Integrity (EMC+SIPI)","volume":"29 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":"126890659","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}

The measurement of EMI for regulatory compliance has been studied extensively and there are standard test labs which certifies for EMI. However, predicting the EMI radiation from a consumer electronic device through simulation is very challenging due to the complexities involved in modeling the device and noise source. This paper introduces a workflow for simulating one case of EMI radiation from a 208 MHz single-ended I/O clock generated from the System-on-Chip (SoC) in an electronic device. Through a full wave 3D solver, the radiated far field transfer function of the clock is obtained. Additionally, the spectral content of clock is measured in both time and frequency domain. Then the clock spectrum is combined with transfer function to predict EMI radiation envelope. The simulated results are then compared with the measured results from an FCC compliant laboratory. Based on the simulated and measured results, mitigation techniques are proposed to reduce the EMI to acceptable levels.","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":"128982857","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}
