Semiconductor Switching Circuits with Minimum Susceptibility

In summarizing the following paper it is necessary to realize that in the initial design of a switching system, it is difficult to predict the many problems that will result from spurious interference. Several of the interference coupling paths will not become apparent until the system is completed so it is necessary to consider susceptibility during the individual circuit design. The three primary items to emphasize are switching speed, switching pulse amplitude and the location of the threshold region with respect to the switching pulse amplitude. All of these items are determined during the initial individual circuit design so it is extremely important that their relationship to system interference susceptibility be thoroughly examined, It has been the object of this paper to provide material which would help the designer in determining an optimum solution to the susceptibility problem.
