► In automotive systems, the wiring harnesses play a key role in couplingelectronic noise to and from the components. Shielding and filtering of the wiringharness and connector are not generally viable options; therefore it is importantto address cable coupling issues with proper board-level design practices. Thispresentation reviews the various cable-coupling mechanisms and groundingstrategies. It also discusses the options available at the board level for ensuringthat automotive components do not put excessive amounts of noise on theharness and that noise on the harness does not affect the proper operation ofthe component circuitry.

► This session is intended to help the attendees learn to design electroniccomponents that function properly in harsh electromagnetic environments.

► Todd Hubing is the Michelin Professor of Vehicle Electronics at the ClemsonUniversity International Center for Automotive Research. He has over 25 yearsexperience designing products that meet electromagnetic compatibilityrequirements.

► This session is divided into four 40-minute presentations with 10 minutesallocated for questions and one 10-minute break each hour.

How are common-mode currents induced on cables?

Signal current loop induces a voltage between two good antenna parts.

- Vcm +

At 10 MHz and higher, milliamps of current flowing in a ground plane produces millivolts of voltage across the

ground plane. A few millivolts driving a resonant antenna can result in radiated fields exceeding FCC limits.

Board Level – Trace routing

► No trace unrelated to I/O should be located between an I/O connector and the device(s) sending and receiving signals using that connector.

► All power planes and traces should be routed on the same layer.► A trace with a propagation delay more than half the transition time of the signal it carries must have a matched

termination.► Capacitively-loaded nets must have a total source impedance equal to or greater than one-quarter of the line

characteristic impedance or a series resistor must be added to meet this condition.► Nets driven at faster than 1V/ns slew rate must have a discrete series resistor at the source.► Guard traces should be used to isolate high-speed nets from I/O nets.► Guard traces should be connected to the ground plane with vias located less than one-quarter wavelength apart at the

highest frequency of interest.► All power and ground traces must be at least three times the nominal signal line width. This does not include guard

traces.► If a ground or power separation is required, the gap must be at least 3 mm wide.► Additional decoupling capacitors should be placed on both sides of a power or ground plane gap.► Critical nets should be routed in a daisy chain fashion with no stubs or branches.► Critical nets should be routed at least 2X from the board edge, where X is the distance between the trace and its return

current path.► Signals with high-frequency content should not be routed beneath components used for board I/O.► Differential pairs radiate much less than single-ended signals even when the traces in the pair are separated by many

times their distance above a ground plane. However, imbalance in the pair can result in radiation comparable to an equivalent single-ended signal.

► The length of high-frequency nets should be minimized.► The number of vias in high-frequency nets should be minimized.► On a board with power and ground planes, no traces should be used to connect to power or ground. Connections should

be made using a via adjacent to the power or ground pad of the component.► Gaps or slots in the ground plane should be avoided. They should ONLY be used in situations where it is necessary to

control the flow of low-frequency (i.e. less than 100 kHz) currents.

The purpose of a system ground is to provide areference voltage and/or a safe path for fault currents.

Ground vs. Signal Return

Signal currents flowing on a “ground” conductor canprevent a ground conductor from serving its intendedpurpose.

Don’t confuse ground conductors with signal returnconductors. Rules for the routing of “ground” may conflictwith the rules for routing signal or power returns.

Ground vs. Signal Return

Circuit boards should have high-frequency ground!

Conductors referenced to different grounds can be good antennas.

Signals referenced to two different grounds will be noisy (i.e., include the noise voltage between the two grounds.)

Layouts with more than one ground are more difficult, require more space, and present more opportunities for critical mistakes.

Excuses for employing more than one ground are generally based on inaccurate or out-dated information.

Why?

Ground vs. Signal Return

If grounds are divided, it is generally to control the flow of low-frequency (<100 kHz) currents.

For example,

Isolating battery negative (i.e. chassis ground) from digital ground

Isolating digital ground from analog ground in audio circuits.

This can be necessary at times to prevent common impedancecoupling between circuits with low-frequency high-current signals andother sensitive electronic circuits.

HOWEVER, it is still necessary to ensure that there is only 1 high-frequency ground.

Rules for gapping a ground plane:

1. Don’t do it!

2. If you must do it, never ever allow a trace or another plane to cross over the gap.

3. If you must do it, never ever place a gap between two connectors.

4. Remember that the conductors on either side of the gap are at different potentials.

5. See Rule #1!

Cables and enclosures are both good antenna parts. If they are not held to the same potential, they are likely to create a radiation problem.

Note: Sometimes low-frequency isolation between chassis and digital ground isnecessary control the flow of low-frequency currents. However, even in thesesituations it is usually important to provide a good high-frequency connection.

Use capacitors with a low ESR!

Avoid capacitors with a low ESR!

Use the largest valued capacitors you can find in a given package size.

Locate capacitors near the power pins of active

devices.

Locate capacitors near the ground pins of active

devices.

Location of decoupling capacitors is not relevant.

Run traces from device to capacitor, then to power planes.

Never put traces on decoupling capacitors.

How much capacitance do you need?

Recognizing that CMOS loads are capacitances, we are simplyusing decoupling capacitors to charge load capacitances.

Total decoupling capacitance is set to a value that is equal to the total device capacitance times the power bus voltage divided by the maximum power bus noise.

How much capacitance do you need?

Let’s do it the way that worked forsomebody at sometime in the past.

“… include one 0.01 uF local decoupling capacitor for each VCC pin of every active component on the board plus 1 bulk decoupling capacitor with a value equal to 5 times the sum of the local decoupling capacitance.” .

Boards with Power Planes Spaced >0.5 mm

On boards with a spacing between power and ground planes of ~30 mils (0.75 mm) ormore, the inductance of the planes can no longer be neglected. In particular, the mutualinductance between the vias of the active device and the vias of the decouplingcapacitor is important. The mutual inductance will tend to cause the majority of thecurrent to be drawn from the nearest decoupling capacitor and not from the planes.

Power Bus Decoupling Strategy

With Widely Spaced (>.5 mm) Planes:

► Size bulk decoupling to meet board requirements► Size local decoupling to meet device requirements► Mount local decoupling near pin connected to furthest plane► Don’t put traces on capacitor pads► Too much capacitance is ok► Too much inductance is not ok

Power Bus Decoupling Strategy

Low-impedance Planes or Traces?

► Choice is based on bandwidth and board complexity► Planes are not always the best choice► It is possible to achieve good decoupling either way► Trace inductance may limit current to active devices

Planes Widely Spaced or Closely Spaced?

► Want local or global decoupling?► Want stripline traces?► Lower impedances are obtainable with closely spaced planes.

Decoupling Myth

In order to be effective, capacitors must be located within aradius of the active device equal to the distance a wave cantravel in the transition time of the circuitry.

On boards with closely spaced planes (where this rule isnormally applied) none of the capacitors on the board cantypically respond within the transition time of the circuitry nomatter where they are located.

Decoupling Myth

Smaller valued capacitors (i.e. 10 pF) respond faster than highervalued capacitors.

The ability of a capacitor to supply current quickly isdetermined by its mounted inductance. The value of thecapacitance only affects its ability to respond over longerperiods of time. For a given value of inductance, higher valuedcapacitors are more effective for decoupling.

1. When is a wiring harness a transmission line, and when is it just a bundle of wires?

2. If it’s just a bundle of wires, why do I care how it’s configured or routed?

3. When do wiring harnesses look like antennas?

4. How do I design automotive components to prevent harnesses from radiating?

5. How do I protect automotive components from noise or transients on the wiring harness?
