EMC models and netlisting strategies

During the design process it is very important to estimate the EM behavior of the circuit being designed. Not only that electronic equipment producers are bounded by EMC standards but ICs are root causes of disturbances in electronic equipment and systems. Standards regarding EME (Electromagnetic Emission) and EMI (Electromagnetic Immunity) have to be simulated as the first step towards EM compliance. Appropriate netlisting strategies and usable EMC models have to be determined to enable prefabrication EMC evaluation. The netlisting strategy implies the simplification of the netlist according to EMC demands and reasonable simulation time. It is very difficult to perform transistor level simulations for chip level EMC tests, for they are complex and require long simulation time. Therefore suitable models and their usability must be determined.
