Abstract :

[en] This paper describes the effect of EMI (electromagnetic interference) on analog integrated circuits, and introduces four design guidelines targeted at improving the susceptibility of analog integrated circuits to EMI. These guidelines are then applied to the practical design of operational amplifier topologies with a high degree of immunity to conductive EMI. © 2012 IEEE.
