- 21. The Evolution ofEM Noise Radio and TV: Before 1984 three TV programs were broadcasted in Germany. With the advent of cable and satellite TV the number of programs (not their quality) exploded. New territories in the EM spectrum were occupied. Why has EMC more and more become an issue in the past decades? It is interesting to look at the evolution of randomly selected EM subjects: Telecommunication: This telephone inside the DESY tunnel must be from the 1960s when only Big Bosses had “mobile” phones installed in their cars. Today we have the atmosphere filled with EM smog from cell phones, WLAN etc. But imagine the ionizing radiation hardness of this black thing
- 22. 02/02/2025 PSNA -BEMTGuest Lecture 22 Contd., Automotive: My 1977 beetle had the following electric parts: battery, generator, ignition system, lamps, horn, rear window heating, radio. Nowadays almost everything is operated electrically and there are many intelligent assistant systems: A modern Fiat Panda has more computing power embedded than the DESY computing center of 1977 (IBM 370/168). Cars are among the toughest EMI places. Power supply: For a long time the majority of loads in the power grid was linear, i.e. composed of R, C, L. Today’s switched power supplies are energy- efficient but leave a lot of noise in the mains due to their pulsed current consumption.

Editor's Notes
- #35 We generally think of signals propagating through our circuits in one of three modes, single-ended, differential mode, or common mode. Single ended mode is the mode we are most familiar with. It involves a single wire or trace between a driver and a receiver. The signal propagates down the trace and returns through the ground system. Differential mode involves a pair of traces (wires) between the driver and receiver. We typically say that one trace carries the positive signal and the other carries a negative signal that is both equal to, and the opposite polarity from, the first. Since the signals are equal and opposite, there is no return signal through ground; what travels down one trace comes back on the other. Common mode signals are typically more difficult to understand. They may involve either single-ended traces or two (or perhaps even more) differential traces. The SAME signal travels along both the trace and its return path (ground) or along both traces in a differential pair. Most of us tend to be unfamiliar with common mode signals because we tend never to intentionally generate them ourselves. They are usually the result of noise being coupled into the circuit from some other (nearby or external) source. Generally, their consequences are neutral, at best, or damaging at worst. Common mode signals can generate noise that interrupts the operation of our circuits, and are a common source of EMI problems. Advantages: Differential signals have one obvious disadvantage over single-ended signals. They require two traces instead of one, or twice as much board area. But there are several advantages to them. If there is no return signal through ground, then the continuity of the ground path becomes relatively unimportant. So if we have, for example, an analog signal going to a digital device through a differential pair, we don’t have to worry about crossing power boundaries, plane discontinuities, etc. Separation of power systems can be made easier with differential devices. Differential circuits can be very helpful in low signal level applications. If the signals are VERY low level, or if the signal/noise ratio is a problem, then differential signals effectively double the signal level (+v – (-v) = 2v). Differential signals and differential amplifiers are commonly used at the input stages of very low signal level systems. Differential receivers tend to be sensitive to the difference in the signal levels at their inputs, but they are usually designed to be insensitive to common-mode shifts at the inputs. Therefore, differential circuits tend to perform better than single- ended ones in high noise environments. Switching timing can be more precisely set with differential signals (referenced to each other) than with single-ended signals (referenced to a less precise reference signal subject to noise at some other point on the board.) The crossover point for a differential pair is very precisely defined (Figure 1). The crossover point of a single ended signal between a logical one and a logical zero (for example) is subject to noise, noise threshold, and threshold detection problems, etc. Key Assumption: There is one very important aspect to differential signals that is frequently overlooked, and sometimes misunderstood, by engineers and designers. Let’s start with the two well-known laws that (a) current flows in a closed loop and (b) current is a constant everywhere within that loop. Consider the “positive” trace of a differential pair. Current flows down the trace and must flow in a loop, normally returning through ground. The negative signal on the other trace must also flow in a loop and would also normally return though ground. This is easy to see if we temporarily imagine a differential pair with the signal on one trace held constant. The signal on the other trace would have to return somewhere, and it seems intuitively clear that the return path would be where the single ended trace return would be (ground). We say that, with a differential pair, there is no return through ground NOT because it can’t happen, BUT because, the returns that do exist are equal and opposite and therefore (sum to zero and) cancel each other out. This is a VERY important point. If the return from one signal (+i) is exactly equal to, and the opposite sign from, the other signal (-i), then their SUM (+i –i) is zero, and there is no current flowing anywhere else (and in particular, though ground). Now assume the signals are not exactly equal and opposite. Let one signal be +i1 and the other be –i2 where i1 and i2 are similar, but not equal, in magnitude. The sum of their return currents is (i1 – i2). Since this is NOT zero, then this incremental current must be returning somewhere else, presumably ground. So what, you say? Well let’s assume the sending circuit sends a differential pair of signals that are exactly equal and opposite. Then we assume they will still be so at the receiving end of the path. But what if the path lengths are different? If one path (of the differential pair) is longer than the other path, then the signals are no longer equal and opposite during their transition phase at the receiver (Figure 2). If the signals are no longer equal and opposite during their transition from one state to another, then it is no longer true that there is no return signal through ground. If there is a return signal through ground, then power system integrity DOES become an issue, and EMI may become a problem. Design Rule 1: This brings us to our first design guideline when dealing with differential signals: The traces should be of equal length. There are some people who argue passionately against this rule. Generally, the basis for their argument involves signal timing. They point out in great detail that many differential circuits can tolerate significant differences in the timing between the two halves of a differential signal pair and still switch reliably. Depending on the logic family used, trace length difference of 500 mils can be tolerated.
