FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
This measurement procedure describes a measurement method to quantify the RF immunity of
integrated circuits (ICs) mounted on a standardized test board or on their final application
board (PCB), to electromagnetic conductive disturbances.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the definitions of IEC 62132-1, IEC 60050(131) and
IEC 60050(161), as well as the following, apply.
3.1
common-mode point
node in a circuit or at a PCB at which a single point is taken as signal terminal, the second
terminal being the signal’s reference (forming a 2-terminal port). As an example of a common-
mode point, the ground reference plane (V -plane) at an edge of a PCB is considered with
ss
respect to an external reference, e.g. the bottom of the workbench Faraday cage.

62132-5  IEC:2005 – 13 –
3.2
common-mode port
virtual node of a circuit or at a connector port at which the signal follows the vector sum of all
signals (including ground) at that port in relation to a reference port. As an example, the bottom
of the Workbench Faraday cage is considered an external reference. At a common-mode port
with multiple wires, this node can be established by using a passive summation network.
NOTE For a shielded (multi-wire) cable, the screen of that cable is used as common-mode port terminal. In this
case, the common-mode point is the screen of that cable.
4 General
4.1 Applicability
This standard applies to ICs that can perform "stand-alone" functions when used on a
physically small test board.
The RF immunity of these ICs can be measured under pre-defined conditions. In addition, the
method allows measurements on application boards. This gives the user an indication of the
expected immunity once the IC(s) is implemented.
This method makes it possible to classify ICs for dedicated functions where EMC constraints
are applicable. This might apply to ICs used with cordless telephones, other communication
devices and applications where EMC properties are important to obtain optimal operation e.g.
automotive, process measurement and control equipment and all other products that control
critical functions.
4.2 Measurement philosophy
The workbench method is derived from the IEC 61000-4-6. The method described in that
publication assumes that supply and signal cable(s) are attached to an electrically small test
board, with dimensions ≤ λ/2, i.e. 0,15 m at 1 GHz, see note. These connected cables become
the dominant antennas; the induced RF disturbance is injected to the test board via these
“antennas”.
NOTE The test board and its connected cables thereto should be partly supported by material with low dielectric
constant, as such ε = 1 is assumed, see also 7.7.
r
The connected cables will have functions such as supply, communication and other signal
interfaces and these cables are commonly not geometrically oriented in the same plane as the
other cables.
The antenna (common-mode) impedance per port has been normalised to 150 Ω with
tolerances in the various frequency bands. By injecting either a voltage in series or a current
through these common-mode impedances, the RF immunity test is established.
Direct injection of RF disturbance to the IC package is very small, see also IEC 62132-2 as an
additional measurement method, and often negligible compared to the disturbance injected
through the connected cable(s). Due to the fact that induced currents will flow through the
reference of the test board, indirect coupling between the voltages and currents through the
package are also established.
Because of the concept chosen, the workbench method shows the effect of the test board
layout, the IC supply decoupling, the RF performance of the used discrete components
(capacitors, inductors) as well as the measures taken on the IC (e.g. on-chip decoupling,
filtered inputs and Schmitt-triggers used, etc.). Similar modes of operation (by software or
function) shall be used for the various ICs to be tested to allow comparison. In addition, various
modes of operation with one IC allow comparison i.e. determination of contribution of individual
blocks within the IC.
62132-5  IEC:2005 – 15 –
4.3 Basic test set-up
The RF immunity measurements shall take place above a metallic reference plane, see
Figure 1 for an open set-up (according to IEC 61000-4-6). With common-mode impedances
defined by using the coupling and decoupling networks (CDNs), relations between the applied
disturbance voltage, while testing against RF immunity, and the locally created E/H fields can
be calculated.
4.4 Workbench concept
In principle coupling and decoupling is similar to the method given in IEC 61000-4-6; see
Figure 1. With this workbench method, a small Faraday cage is used. Discrete resistors,
connected to several common-mode points (to the PCB ground) or ports (as referred to the
signals) of the test board are implemented to represent the coupling.

Figure 1 – Conducted immunity measurement method − General set-up
The decoupling of supply and/or other I/O lines takes place via inductances built on ferrite
cores representing impedances >> 150 Ω at the frequencies of interest and feed-through filters
installed on the wall of the cage. The workbench basic set-up is shown in Subclause 7.3.
5 Test conditions
The test conditions shall be as described in IEC 62132-1.
The workbench method can be used for either absolute or comparative testing of ICs, either on
the predefined, standardised test board, or for the measurement of definitive application
boards.
When measurements are carried out using a test board other than defined in IEC 62132-1, that
test board shall be described such that repetition of the measurement remains possible. When
necessary, a copy of the layout and circuit diagram shall be added to the test report.

6 Test equipment
The test equipment shall meet the requirements as described in IEC 62132-1.
For the purpose of the RF immunity test, the open-circuit test generator voltage is defined.
Adding series resistance (100 Ω with the coupling network) does not affect this open-circuit
test generator voltage. As such no compensation shall be applied during the immunity test.
The test generator used shall meet t
