ICEM: a new standard for EMC of IC definition and examples

The ICEM standard (Integrated Circuit Electromagnetic Model) was proposed by the French standard committee (UTE) where many semi-conductor manufacturers and final users are involved. The ICEM standard proposal is nowadays registered as a Technical Report (IEC62014-3). In the first part of this paper, the authors will present the architecture of the model. In the second part, they will describe different methods to characterize the parameters of the model. Finally, comparisons between measurement and simulation results highlight the capability of this approach for the prediction of the electromagnetic emission of an IC.
