  • Abstract
    The paper deals with the electromagnetic emissions of smart power system on chips (SoCs). The architecture of common integrated smart-power systems is described, hence the propagation of core blocks switching noise through the silicon substrate is discussed referring to simple equivalent circuits. Based on that, a new grounding scheme to reduce substrate voltage bounce is presented in detail and its effectiveness to mitigate electromagnetic emission is shown by means of time domain computer simulations.
