This is accomplished during the initial cable plugging period, with the use of an I/O cable presence detection switch through a series resistor to ground (or other equivalent means, such as Zener diodes). When an I/O cable is plugged into the serpentine block, any personnel or cable electrostatic discharge (ESD) across the signal conductor input pin(s) will be bled off through the ground conductor almost upon contact. Then, via the cable presence detecting mechanism (switch), the normal data path will be restored only after the electrostatic charge has been bled off. The proposed I/O connector design has the following advantages over the manual mode of a electrostatic charge removal: it provides permanent ESD protection for I/O interface cards without worry about human error, and it allows concurrent maintenance where ESD events can be one of the detrimental factors to a continuous operating system. Preliminary tests have shown that this approach meets the anticipated preventive result against ESD damages.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128561589","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}

Many papers have been written concerning the electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of electronic modules. However, very little has been written on EMC diagnostic tools and techniques to pinpoint the specific susceptibility problems or immunity levels of electronic circuits. This study discusses in detail the use of direct RF power injection as an EMC diagnostic tool over the frequency range of 500 kHz to 500 MHz. This technique offers advantages of improved repeatability and correlation with vehicle results over other methods currently in use. The methodology of direct RF power injection is detailed so other EMC engineers may benefit from this development.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":243730,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126485414","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}
