transients with a large amount of radiated energies A 1MHz switching power supply can radiate enough energy to fail EMI testing at the 100MHz frequency range • Inadequate power supply decoupling may lead to excessive voltage transients on the power supply planes and traces • The power supply board layout can be a root cause of oscillations + - I 14081/SO 14 U19A + 100nF - U19A 14 • 14081/SO I Figure 11.9 Power Supply Decoupling Reduces Current Loop Area As shown in Figure 11.9, decoupling the power supply reduces transients and provides a smaller current loop area If the power supply trace in Figure 11.9 is long and has no decoupling capacitor, the parasitic inductance is large and requires some time to charge up This delay is a root cause of the power supply droop problem Power supply droop occurs when the output buffer switches at a fast rate, but is starved for the current needed to drive the load, since the parasitic inductance between the power supply and the DSP becomes an open circuit Example 1: - A DSP BGA (ball grid array) package has a trace inductance of 1.44nH - This output is driving a 3” trace with 1nS risetime signal 204 Chapter 11 - This trace is being routed on a typical FR4 printed circuit board.Line characteristic impedance and IO voltage are 68 ohms and 3.3V respectively To estimate the power supply droop caused by the parasitic inductance, first let’s estimate the *as follows The dynamic IO current is the current transient for transmission line load, not steady state resistive load I ( peak ) = 3V ΔV = = 48 mA 68 Zo Since the package inductance is 1.44nH for 1nS risetime signal, the internal voltage droop is V ( droop ) = L dI 48 mA = (1 44 nH ) = 70 mV dt nS Typically, one DSP power supply pin is shared by many output buffers This creates larger droop and leads to higher radiation This helps explain why good power supply decoupling is required for low EMI design 11.6 TRANSMISSION LINE To combat TL effects, use simulation tools to fine-tune the series termination resistors to eliminate overshoots and undershoots caused by impedance mismatch explained in the Transmission Line chapter Improving signal integrity design helps reduce EMI But to minimize EMI, the series termination resistors should also be as large as possible without violating AC timing A parallel termination resistor as shown in Figure 11.10 is commonly used in RF and analog designs, but is not practical for digital signals due to the amount of DC current drained by the 50 ohm resistor If parallel termination is required, use a DC blocking capacitor in series with the resistor as demonstrated in the Transmission Line section Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) 205 Figure 11.10 Terminated and Un-Terminated Transmission Lines Table [5] shows the source current for different values of the series termination resistor Changing the value from 10 ohms to 39 ohms does not have much effect on the waveform, [5] showing about 1nS degradation, but dramatically reduces the source current which greatly lowers the radiate emissions Figure 11.11 shows a DSP board with a 47 ohm series resistor added to the memory clock, reducing the radiated emissions 3dB compared to the emissions of the signal without termination Overall, if slower risetime signals are acceptable and not violate AC timing specifications, designers should use the largest resistor value to terminate high speed signals to optimize the design from an EMI standpoint Table 11.1 Source Current For Different Series Termination Series Termination Resistor Value: Peak Source Current: 10 ohms ~ 40mA 22 ohms ~ 10mA 25 ohms ~ 5mA 30 ohms ~ 10mA 33 ohms ~ 9mA 39 ohms ~ 8mA 206 Chapter 11 Figure 11.11 DSP Board with Terminated Clock 11.7 POWER AND GROUND PLANES For high-speed DSP systems, it is getting more and more difficult to meet EMI regulations without using multiple layer PCBs and dedicating some of the layers as power and ground planes Compared to a trace, a power or ground plane has a lower parasitic inductance and provides a shielding effect for high-speed signals Power and ground planes also provide natural decoupling capacitance As described in the PCB layout section of this document, natural decoupling capacitance occurs when power and ground planes are spaced very closely, yielding higher capacitance This effect becomes very important at 300MHz speed or higher So, adding power and ground planes simplifies PCB routing and reduces the number of highfrequency decoupling capacitors required for the DSP Another important consideration for the PCB is layer assignment Refer to the board layout chapter, Chapter 10, to determine the best board stackup for your application Keep in mind that adding a ground plane directly underneath the high-speed signal plane creates an image plane that provides the shortest current return paths Studies in [2] and [3] show that image planes greatly reduce radiated emissions The comparison between PCB with and without image plane are shown Figures 11.12 and 11.13 Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) 207 Figure 11.12 Radiated Emissions Without Image Plane Figure 11.13 Radiated Emissions With Image Plane 208 Chapter 11 11.8 SUMMARY: EMI REDUCTION GUIDELINES In summary, here are the guidelines for low EMI system design: • Add image planes wherever possible • Create ground planes if there are spaces available on the routing layers Connect these ground areas to the ground plane with vias Creating a quarter-inch via grid is ideal • Add guard traces to high-speed signals if possible • Reduce the risetime of the signal if timing is not critical This can be accomplished by including series termination resistors on high-speed buses and fine-tuning the resistors for optimal signal integrity and EMI Series termination resistors lower the source current, increase the signal risetime and reduce transmission effects Substantial benefits can be achieved with this approach at a low cost • Keep the current loops as small as possible Add as many decoupling capacitors as possible Always apply current return rules to reduce loop areas • Keep high-speed signals away from other signals and especially away from input and output ports or connectors • Avoid isolating the ground plane If this is required for performance reasons, such as with audio ADCs and DACs, apply current return rules to connect the grounds together • Avoid connecting the ground splits with a ferrite bead At high frequencies, a ferrite bead has high impedance and creates a large ground potential difference between the planes • Use multiple decoupling capacitors with different values Every capacitor has a self-resonant frequency so be careful Refer to the Power Supply Decoupling Techniques section for more information • For PC board stackup, add as many power and ground planes as possible Keep the power and ground planes next to each Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) 209 other to ensure low impedance stackup or large natural capacitance stackup • Add an EMI pi filter on all the signals exiting the box or entering the box • If the system fails EMI tests, find the source by tracing the failed frequencies to their source For example, assume the design fails at 300MHz but there is nothing on the board running at that frequency The source is likely a 3rd harmonic of a 100HMz signal • Determine if the failed frequencies are common mode or differential mode Remove all the cables connected to the box If the radiation changes, it is common mode, if not, then it is differential mode Then, go to the clock source and use termination or decoupling techniques to reduce the radiation If it is common mode, add pi filters to the inputs and outputs Adding a common choke onto the cable is an effective but expensive method of reducing EMI 210 Chapter 11 REFERENCES [1] Federal Communication Commission (2005) Unintentional Radiators, Title 47 (47CFR), Part 15 B
