Abstract
In many nonlinear circuits, DC operating points may shift when the circuit is subjected to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), leading to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) failures. Analysis of such failures is classically done using a transient simulation of the whole circuit. For large circuits, this method is not practical due to computational limitations. This paper proposes a computationally inexpensive method that is able to analyze very large-scale circuits and to identify the devices that suffer from strongly nonlinear behavior in the presence of EMI. It does so by checking which devices suffer from operating region transitions. Next, it classifies these transitions to prioritize the devices in terms of their contribution to the EMI problem. The method is demonstrated to work well on a level shifter circuit, a representative case that is widely used in commercial products.
