noise immunity
• Circuit noise immunity is the ability of a
device or component to operate in the
presence of noise disturbance .
• Electro Static Discharge is the sudden
discharge (i.e. transients, surge). To
the circuit, this is a rapid high voltage,
low current situation.
EDGE™
When is Noise Immunity design
needed?
• Senior Design I
– Paper Design wks 1-8
• Senior Design II
– Prototype device testing wks 1- 3.
– Pre-integration testing with lab equipment DUT
(device under test). Wks 3- 6

Where does noise get into
electronics?
•
6.4.1 Sources *
•
•
•
•
through ground connections and loops
through power supply connections
through signal inputs
through inadvertent ESD
– (human touch, lightning)
• through Inductive devices (motors)

How does noise get into electronics?
Energy Coupling
(Conductive, Inductive, Capacitive)
•
EMI - Current surges
(ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system
due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from
electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from
chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed
by the FCC.

RFI – high impedance devices requiring very limited
current.
(Radio Frequency Interference) High-frequency electromagnetic waves that
emanate from electronic devices such as chips.
If the source is sufficiently strong this can enter your circuit.
EDGE™
ESD and unwanted signals
• Fatal to Electronics:
• Inadvertent user misuse.
• Extreme cases of user abuse and solutions:
– Bridge to block reverse polarity,
– Schottky diode: very fast switching times and low
forward voltage drop. As low as 0.15 volts for low
ma applications.
– Zener diode across the input.
– Circuit breaker – GFI

• Misuse during debug and testing.
• ESD and reverse polarity
– Solution: Diode circuits to protect against
• reduce transients
– Component Specification Sheets

Knowing Your Design Specification
1. If considering various output devices, review various
manufactures specification sheets .
2. Current (i.e. CMOS versus TTL ).
3. Control Voltage (Vdd vary from 1.5 VDC to 12 VDC
typically)
4. Needed minimum Signal Transient Response.
5. RLC loads (dangerous current and voltage spikes)
6. Apply to Thevenin Equivalent Circuits
– Source electronics
– Device being driven

Harness -Twisted Pair
When purchasing harness cable:
• Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
Study the manufacturer’s Specification to
match to your needs.

parasitic capacitance, reflections.

What is does: Cancels out crosstalk from neighboring wires and
electromagnetic interference from external sources
EDGE™
CMOS characteristics Print out the
specification sheets.
• 1 uA input? Not sure? Get the spec sheet!...
• Draw the equivalent circuit for each internal
pin. That is, CMOS versus TTL input
impedance, output is pull-up or pull-down
circuit, current limiting resistor value.
• CMOS inputs have very high input impedance
which is good for low power consumption for
well protected electronics but susceptible to
misuse when connecting to the outside world.
EDGE™
Isolating Noise
• Analog and Digital Optocoupler /Optoisolators Somewhat
expensive ($1/ channel) but good isolation.
– an electronic device that uses optics to transfer a signal while
keeping the receiving and transmitting circuits electrically isolated
• http://www.analog.com (Analog Devices)
• http://www.optoinc.com/
• http://www.optoinc.com/optocouplers1.html
• Power connection.
• What does not work?
– Fuses tipically are ineffective since a fuse is too slow to stop ESD
current but good for harness shortcircuit.
• Shielding
• Fiber Optics
– When higher speed data is needed.
