bene-tam
first of all, thx all for help
pls help verify my design, it's a poor one since it's not designed for
EMC from first day and my supervisor didnt alert too!!
i am having a serious headache about this.
brief description of my hardware : 110/230VAC to 12VDC output adaptor
is used to power my hardware(a switching isolated power supplies
giving "no earth"), at the input of my hardware, i have fuse, relay,
diode and MVO to make sure polarity, current are "safe", the 12VDC
input is converted to +5V&0V&-5V using another onboard
switch-mode-power-supply for my circuits(including ADC, MCU, OpAmp,
LED drivers), there are integrated ethernet chips on the MCU already,
while i am using Maxim ICs for making RS232.
past pain(solved) :
no common mode filter cap for the both 0V&12V input(to chassis)
no filtering cap at the DB-9 connector for RS232, once failed for EMI,
now okay
currently, 2 big challenges are faced and after that i really hope
that i can learn from expert here, i still have tons of question/doubt
***the first challenge is EN61000-4-4(Electrical fast transient/Burst)
my device can work with RJ45 and standalone under the fast transient
test, but once the +-1kV is exerted, the connection with a 56kmodem is
lost.
the questions are:
should i connect the circuit ground to chassis??
how could i "shield" the cable connection with 56kmodem, given there
is no earth on both devices?(both not using 3-pin plug, no true earth)
***the second challenge is EN61000-4-3(Radiated Immunity)
again, how should i increase my device's radiated immunity?
the connection with the modem is lost in such a test condition.
currently, the metal chassis is connected to the circuit ground, and a
cap is used to "bridge" the input 0V and the circuit ground(violating
the isolation of the 12V to +-5V output converter as i think)
thx so much
