Measures to Reduce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in Clock Circuits Analysis of Electromagnetic Interference in Clock Circuits By Michael Hsieh, Application Engineering Manager, Cypress Taiwan All electronic components that generate voltage-frequency signals are potential sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI). These electromagnetic wave signals will affect the normal operation of electronic products such as radios, televisions, or mobile phones. The main source of electromagnetic noise in most systems is the generation and distribution circuits of system clocks. This article will explore the causes of electromagnetic interference, how to measure electromagnetic interference, and how to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference. The principle of electromagnetic wave generation is explained in physics. When negatively charged electrons move in an electric field, an electromagnetic field is generated. Therefore, as long as there is a current signal in the circuit, electromagnetic waves will be formed. But why do electromagnetic waves affect electronic devices? Why does the operating frequency of a computer\'s CPU interfere with a radio or cordless phone? Take a radio as an example. Usually, the operating frequency of a radio station is between 88Mhz and 108Mhz. There must be a 200KHz gap between bands to avoid mutual interference. In order to clearly receive signals from distant radio stations, the radio itself is equipped with a high-gain receiving amplifier circuit to pick up weak radio signals. The PCI in a personal computer The bus and chipset usually use a 33.3MHz frequency as the synchronization clock. Following the 33.3MHz base frequency, a series of harmonic frequencies will also occur...
