3. Introduction This presentation is presented by ; Chaman Bhardwaj Sr. Engineer, Global Compliance SHURE ® Incorporated. Dated: April 22, 2009

4. Rules & regulations There are the following types of Rules & Regulations. Mandatory: Laws imposed by the government are mandatory. For example, FCC-15, FCC-74, and FCC- 90 etc. Recommendatory : Product Safety rules. Contractual Laws: These are agreed upon between the supplier and buyer of products.

5. Terms and Definitions European Directive  Legal Document adopted by EC (EU Commission) Council of Ministers  Must be adopted into National Law by each EC member state  Does not call out technical standards; refers to private standards- making bodies to draw up product standards European Norm (EN)  Harmonized Standard: Common Standard used for determining conformity – Committee process Committee process – ENs based on existing standards (CISPR, IEC)  Must be adopted into National Standards by each EC Member state CENELEC ( Comite Europeen de Normalisation Electrotechnique)  European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization: responsible for generating European Norms CE: Communaute Europeenne CISPR: Comite International Special des Perturbations Radioelectriques or in English the International Special Committee on Radio Interference

6. New approach directives Objective: Elimination of Technical Barriers New Approach calls out Essential Requirements  Technical Details Left to Committees  Harmonization of European Norms (Standards)  CENELEC Conformity to European Norms demonstrates compliance Products meeting essential requirements eligible for CE Marking

7. Scope of New EMC Directive Directive 2004/108/EC Article 1: 1. This Directive regulates the electromagnetic compatibility of equipment. It aims to ensure the functioning of the internal market by requiring equipment to comply with an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility. This Directive applies to equipment as defined in Article 2. 2. This Directive shall not apply to: (a) equipment covered by Directive 1999/5/EC;

8. Article 2 of New Approach EMC Directive Definitions 1. For the purposes of this Directive, the following definitions shall apply: (a) ‘equipment’ means any apparatus or fixed installation; (b) ‘apparatus’ means any finished appliance or combination thereof made commercially available as a single functional unit, intended for the end user and liable to generate electromagnetic disturbance, or the performance of which is liable to be affected by such disturbance; (c) ‘fixed installation’ means a particular combination of several types of apparatus and, where applicable, other

9. Article 2, Continued… devices, which are assembled, installed and intended to be used permanently at a predefined location; (d) ‘electromagnetic compatibility’ means the ability of equipment to function satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable electromagnetic disturbances to other equipment in that environment; … and so on..

10. Essential requirements – Article 5 Apparatus  Electromagnetic disturbances generated do not exceed level to interfere with operation of radio, telecommunications or other equipment  Has a level of immunity to electromagnetic disturbances expected in it’s intended environment Fixed installations  Use good engineering practices with a view to meeting apparatus requirements. Document those practices with the documentation on file as long as installation is in operation.

Apparatus or fixed installation classification (to flowchart 4)

13. CE MARKING There is no such thing as a CE approval or CE certification! CE is not a mark or approval, it’s a marking which is only a self declaration under the supplier’s own responsibility.

14. CE DIRECTIVES Directives tell us why we must comply (consumer safety / EMC) and what may happen if we ignore laws (withdraw products). It’s the European standards that show us how to comply (design and assessment).

15. Implementation of CE marking Implementation of the CE Marking:  Must be affixed to: – Product – Packaging – Instructions for use, OR – Guarantee certificate  Can be used with other marks providing they do not reduce the visibility and legibility of the mark  The marking may include: – The identification of a notified body involved in assessment

42. The design process Conceptthe idea Target specificationsthe details (include functional and regulatory - EMC) System architecturethe structure and details - EMC Design rulesthe circuit and layout constraints- EMC Initial designbuild it Functional evaluationdoes it work? If not, modify. Regulatory evaluationis it legal? If not modify - EMC Releaseit meets the (modified) specs.

43. The design process- check Target specificationsthe details (include functional and regulatory - EMC) - Are all the jurisdictions specified? - Have the requirements changed? - Is the environment correct?

44. The design process System architecturethe structure and details – EMC -How many layers in PCBs? -Are reactive circuits located away from I/O ports? -Are I/O ports isolated/shielded? -Are IC families appropriate for speeds needed? -Will housing provide shielding?

45. Design for compliance Initial Design must consider the following:  design goals  Components  PCB architecture  PCB layout and I/O  Cables  enclosures and shielding  software/firmware

46. The design process Design rulesthe circuit and layout constraints –EMC - Are RF signal traces short and/ or embedded? - Are bypass caps located and sized optimally? - Are ground planes low-Z, and earth bypass provided? - Have sensitive designs been modeled? -Consider use of Signal Integrity and Quiet expert, EMC Flo simulation tools

47. Design for compliance: software and firmware Design for robustness: - checkpoint routines and watchdog timers. - checksums, error detection/correction codes. - “sanity checks” of measured values. - poll status of ports, sensors, actuators. - read/write to digital ports to validate.

48. The design process To increase the EMC success rate, the design process must have following checks: -Be sure the regulatory specifications are correct and current. -Take into account the impact of equipment architecture on EMC. Assure that purchased modules also comply. - Consider EMC design rules, manual and/or automatic. - Include places for EMC compliance modifications. - Perform pre-compliance testing where possible.

49. The design process Regulatory evaluationis it legal? If not modify – EMC - Were places provided for optional filtering/bypassing? - Are ferrites cost-effective? - Can spring fingers be added to the enclosure? - Will a shielded cable help? - Board re-spin?

50. Design for compliance: logic families  EMI increases with power consumption  EMI increases with slew rate/clock speed  EMI increases with ground bounce  EMI increases with output loading  Differential drive can reduce EMI (LVDS)

51. Design for compliance: PCB architecture  Adjacent ground and power planes act as very good decoupling capacitors.  ground and power planes can shield high-speed or low-level signal traces between.  separate ground and chassis planes can reduce noise.  16-planes (layers) design is common for back planes

60. Test for Compliance  pre-compliance EMI site  pre-compliance tools

61. To pre-test for RF immunity: use licensed transmitters for radiated fields. use coupling networks and transformers for conducted disturbances. To mitigate RF immunity problems: try ferrites and spring fingers above 50 MHz try filters below 50 MHz, bypassing anywhere. Pre-compliance tools

62. Pre-compliance EMI sites 1 m site  minimizes factory ambient.  good for small EUT, frequencies > 100 MHz. screened room  inexpensive, OK for regulatory conducted emissions and conducted immunity tests.  can be used for radiated emissions, with precautions.

63. Pre-compliance EMI site Pre-Compliance test setup: EUT 1 m analyzer floor - not a ground plane

64. Pre-compliance tools Immunity  disturbance generators (ESD, surge…)  radio transmitters  ferrites  filters and filtered connectors

65. Pre-compliance tools EMI  cable manipulation –ferrites –filters and filtered connector  EMI probes
