The Susceptibility of a 1K NMOS Memory to Conducted Electromagnetic Interference

The investigation into the susceptibility of a IK bit memory as described in this paper was undertaken with the intention of gaining understanding of the nature and consequences of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on complex digital devices. The author is involved in the clearance of military aircraft for electromagnetic compatibility and this requires know­ ledge of system response to EMI. To have confidence in the hardness of an aircraft system it is necessary not only to design and build equipment capable of working in the severe electromagnetic environment encountered and created by modern military aircraft but also to be in a position to assess equipment hardness during manufacture and when installed in the aircraft.
