Overview

IEC 62433-2:2017 is an international standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that focuses on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) integrated circuit (IC) modelling. Specifically, this part addresses models of integrated circuits for electromagnetic interference (EMI) behavioural simulation, with a primary emphasis on conducted emissions modelling. The standard introduces and specifies the Integrated Circuit Emission Model - Conducted Emission (ICEM-CE), a macro-model framework that enables accurate simulation of conducted electromagnetic emissions originating from ICs on printed circuit boards (PCBs).

This edition of the standard incorporates a significant update: the addition of an XML-based exchange format, enhancing model representation, interoperability, and automated processing in simulation workflows. IEC 62433-2:2017 applies to a wide variety of IC types including digital, analog, IC-dies, functional blocks, and Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, making it essential for EMC engineers, circuit designers, and simulation tool developers working in emissions reduction and compliance.

Key Topics

  • ICEM-CE Macro-Model Structure: Details general macro-model configurations including block-based and sub-model-based approaches that replicate internal activities (IA), passive distribution networks (PDN), and inter-block coupling (IBC) within ICs.

  • Conducted Emission Simulation: Provides methodologies to simulate conducted emissions stemming from both the core digital activities and I/O activities of integrated circuits, enabling early detection and mitigation of EMI issues.

  • Parameter Extraction Requirements: Defines guidelines and constraints for extracting ICEM-CE parameters including environment assumptions, IA, PDN, and IBC characteristics to ensure accurate behavioural representation.

  • XML Exchange Format (CEML): Introduces the Conducted Emissions Modelling Language (CEML)-an XML-based hierarchical format for exchanging the macro-model data. CEML standardizes headers, lead definitions, SPICE macro-models, and validity information to support interoperability between tools and organizations.

  • Model Components and Keywords: Specifies detailed keywords and attribute definitions used in CEML for describing PDNs, IBCs, and IA components, enhancing clarity and uniformity across IC emission simulation models.

  • Example Implementations: The standard includes informative annexes showcasing example models and parameter generation techniques to aid practitioners in creating and validating their own ICEM-CE macro-models.

Applications

IEC 62433-2:2017 is vital for professionals and organizations involved in:

  • EMC Design and Compliance: Supporting engineers to predict and mitigate conducted EMI at the IC design stage, reducing costly post-production fixes for EMC compliance.

  • PCB and System-Level EMI Simulation: Integrating IC emission macro-models within system-level simulation tools to analyze conducted emissions along PCB traces and external interfaces.

  • IC Product Development: Enabling semiconductor manufacturers to characterize IC emission behaviour more accurately during product validation phases, improving design robustness.

  • IP Block Development and Verification: Assisting IP core developers to simulate emission sources internally, facilitating more comprehensive EMI control strategies.

  • Simulation Tool Development: Providing a structured, standardized approach to implement IC emission models into EDA and EMI behavioural simulation software.

Related Standards

  • IEC 62433-1: General EMC IC modelling principles and terminology supporting the series.

  • IEC 61000 Series: Electromagnetic compatibility standards addressing system-level EMC requirements.

  • CISPR Standards: Covering limits and measurements for conducted and radiated emissions applicable at the device and system level.

  • SPICE Modelling Standards: Providing analog and digital circuit simulation definitions used within the macro-models.

  • IEC 62433-3: (If published) Potential subsequent parts addressing additional EMI emission modelling aspects or radiated emission simulations.


By adhering to IEC 62433-2:2017, designers and engineers can achieve enhanced accuracy in EMI behavioural simulations, improve the predictability of conducted emissions, and facilitate standardized model exchange through the XML-based CEML format. This helps ensure that integrated circuits meet stringent EMC requirements, ultimately supporting safe, reliable, and compliant electronic systems.

EMC IC MODELLING –
Part 2: Models of integrated circuits for EMI behavioural
simulation – Conducted emissions modelling (ICEM-CE)

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62433 specifies macro-models for an Integrated Circuit (IC) to simulate
conducted electromagnetic emissions on a printed circuit board. The model is commonly
called Integrated Circuit Emission Model – Conducted Emission (ICEM-CE).
The ICEM-CE macro-model can also be used for modelling an IC-die, a functional block and
an Intellectual Property (IP) block.
The ICEM-CE macro-model can be used to model both digital and analogue ICs.
Basically, conducted emissions have two origins:
• conducted emissions through power supply terminals and ground reference structures;
• conducted emissions through input/output (I/O) terminals.
The ICEM-CE macro-model addresses those two types of origins in a single approach.
This standard defines structures and components of the macro-model for EMI simulation
taking into account the IC’s internal activities.
This part of IEC 62433 has two main parts:
• the first is the electrical description of ICEM-CE macro-model elements along with the
specific requirements for information.
• the second part proposes a universal data exchange format called CEML based on XML.
This format allows encoding the ICEM-CE in a more useable and generic form for
simulating the conducted emissions.

4 Philosophy
4.1 General
Integrated circuits will have more and more gates on silicon and technical progress will
develop faster. To predict the electromagnetic behaviour of equipment, it is required to model
the switching of the input and output interface and the internal activities of an IC effectively.
Figure 1 depicts an example of decomposition of an IC to enable conducted emissions
analysis. The internal digital activity (culprit) is a source of electromagnetic noise that
originates in switching of active devices. The coupling path propagates the emissions to the

IC’s external terminals: pins/pads. The coupling path is the power distribution network or I/O
lines inside the IC.

4.2 Conducted emission from core activity (digital culprit)
The current transients are created in the core area on the IC-die. Due to the characteristics of
the digital coupling paths, the passive distribution network on printed circuit board (PCB) and
the availability of on-chip decoupling, a portion of these current transients will occur at the
power supply pins of the IC.
NOTE These off-chip power supply currents can be measured according to the IEC 61967 series [1] .
4.3 Conducted emission from I/O activity
I/Os activities may create voltage fluctuations of power and ground levels, and conducted
emissions appear at power and ground pins through the I/Os' coupling path. And the output
signals at output pins themselves are sources of conducted emissions to the printed circuit
boards.
NOTE The measurement set-up is done according to the IEC 61967 series [1].
4.4 Data exchange format
ICEM-CE macro-model data is arranged in a decipherable nested manner using XML format.
The objective of this exchange format, called Conducted Emissions Markup Language (CEML),
is to create simple and practical universal access to ICEM-CE macro-model. The preliminary
definitions for XML representation is given in Annex A. The CEML keywords and their usage
rules are detailed in Annex B. An example ICEM-CE macro-model, in CEML format, is given in
Annex C.

IEC 62433-2:2017 is a standard that specifies macro-models for Integrated Circuits (ICs) to simulate conducted electromagnetic emissions on a printed circuit board. This model is known as Integrated Circuit Emission Model - Conducted Emission (ICEM-CE). The macro-model can be used for modelling ICs, functional blocks, and Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, both digital and analog. The updated edition includes the incorporation of an XML based exchange format for model representation.
