EMC Concept (2)

EMC Concept (2)

From EMC concept (1) , now we go forward to consider the rising and falling time.

The condition is 50% duty cycle and we suppose the rising time is equal to falling time. After calculating, Cn and Co are shown below: 
Consider the equation and the plot: 

We match the above result to Cn:


Suppose rising/falling times are 20ns and 5ns,  we obtained the spectrum shown below. The 5ns pattern is worse than 20ns. 


So the conclusions are:

1. Because τ = 
T / 2 = 1 / 2f, the higher frequency, the higher 1 / πτ. The -20 dB/decade will happen slowly.
2. The
 faster is the rising/falling time, the slower is the -20 dB/decade will occur.

This is why some designers who will reserved the capacitor on the clock signal. Slow down the rising/falling times and keep EMI becoming better. Remind that the value of capacitor cannot be too large, it may cause the system crashes.
