1 Scope
This part of the IEC 61967 specifies a method for evaluating RF currents on the pins of an integrated circuit
(IC) by means of non-contact current measurement using a miniature magnetic probe.
This method is capable of measuring the RF currents generated by the IC over a frequency
range of 0,15 MHz to 1 000 MHz. This method is applicable to the measurement of a
single IC or a chip set of ICs on the standardized test board for characterization
and comparison purposes. It is also usable to evaluate the electromagnetic characteristics
of an IC or group of ICs on an actual application PCB for emission reduction purposes.
This method is called the "magnetic probe method".
