What is BS EN 62132-3 - Electromagnetic immunity of integrated circuits about?
Integrated circuits are globally popular in most electronic devices like automobiles, watches, microwave ovens, computers, televisions, traffic lights etc. BS EN 62132-3 is a part of an international multi-series standard that focuses on aspects of integrated circuits.
BS EN 62132-3 describes a bulk current injection test method to measure the immunity of integrated circuits in the presence of conducted radiofrequency disturbances, e.g. resulting from radiated radiofrequency disturbances. This method described in BS EN 62132-3 only applies to integrated circuits that have off-board wire connections e.g. into a cable harness. This test method is used to inject RF current on one or a combination of wires.
BS EN 62132-3 establishes a common base for the evaluation of semiconductor devices to be applied in equipment used in environments that are subject to unwanted radiofrequency electromagnetic signals.
