In this article, we propose a model in which conducted current noise from a localized area of the Si substrate on the chip-backside causes errors in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) digital circuits. This model explains for the first time the mechanism of bit-flip errors in bistable circuits caused by high-voltage pulse (HVP) injection on the backside of the IC. The injected current from the backside of the IC not only flows into the power distribution network, but also charges the gate capacitance of the next stage via p–n junction diodes of body/drain or body/source in N-channel \u0000<sc>mosfet</small>\u0000s (NMOS) with twin-well structures, resulting in bit-flip errors. In this study, circuit simulations were performed using a three-dimensional \u0000<italic>RC</i>\u0000 network model of the IC chip and an HVP injector. These simulations have shown that the P-well voltage is biased depending on the arrangement of the tap cells, reproducing bit-flip errors in the bistable circuit of a D flip-flop. The simulation results were validated on a fabricated prototype IC chip, which confirmed the trend of data dependency for errors related to the physical layout.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"66 5","pages":"1556-1566"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10654642","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142090377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It considers the uncertain parameters arising from height and ground conductivity in transmission lines, examining their impact on conventional fault location methods, such as natural frequency and full-transient analysis approach. These uncertainties lead to considerable location errors, particularly magnified with increasing fault distances. To address this issue, we propose a fault location approach based on PCE and correlation estimation. Simulations cover fault distances ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers, considering variations in non-uniform line section-lengths, and examining scenarios with single and multiple conductors. Results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits robustness across different degrees of uncertainty parameters in non-uniform settings, reducing the relative location error to below 1%. In terms of computational efficiency, the PCE method can accelerate calculations by up to 12 times compared to the Monte Carlo method. Furthermore, the PCE method has been validated using fault transient data from an actual 220 kV power line achieving a location error of 2.41%, which demonstrates its practical applicability in real-world power grid scenarios.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"66 5","pages":"1665-1678"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fixed radiation emission standards struggle to meet the diverse and complex requirements of specific scenarios, making it essential to design or adjust emission limits for specific equipment. To address this issue, this article investigates a method for tailoring the emission limits standard RE102 of radiation equipment in complex systems that include multiple radiating and sensitive equipment. We establish a radiation coupling network model within the system and propose a solution based on the affine-scaling interior-point method for solving the emission limit indicators. This method abstracts the problem of tailoring radiation emission limits into a single-objective optimization problem. We establish a design cost calculation model for each piece of radiation equipment, with the total system design cost as the optimization objective, to obtain the optimal solution under constraints. Finally, through case design and testing involving multiple radiating equipment and sensitive equipment, the test results demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed novel method in different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"66 5","pages":"1478-1489"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142045503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the multilayered Green's function is evaluated using the discrete complex-image method (DCIM) and employed to establish the mixed potential integral equations. The proposed strategy considers time delays for the retarded electric and magnetic couplings, offering a new efficient full-wave approach to extract equivalent circuit components, which encapsulate the contributions of the quasi-static, surface-wave, and complex images. It is noted that the proposed full-wave PEEC strategy allows each component contribution derived from DCIM to be efficiently represented as frequency-independent lumped circuit elements and corresponding frequency factors, thereby simplifying the extraction process of the entire frequency-dependent lumped elements in the traditional PEEC method. Moreover, the proposed PEEC model, equipped with full-wave equivalent circuits, offers clear physical insight into electromagnetic behaviors, thereby facilitating design and optimization. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed PEEC model are fully demonstrated through various examples and experiments.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"66 5","pages":"1585-1595"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141994372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
