[SI-LIST] Re: digital circuits radiated emission as a function of VDD

Yes, it will be strange.  A lot of it is caused by the reduction in
reverse biased diode junction capacitance as VDD is raised.  Most ICs are
riddled with such junctions because that is how the parts are isolated
from each other (exception: dielectric isolation).  This means that
risetimes get shorter and internal crosstalk goes down.  So, the broad
spectral peak will shift upward, perhaps the width of individual spurs
will reduce slightly.  The spectral peak should also rise in amplitude,
because the logic swings increase with VDD for most logic families.  The
overall complexity of the spectrum and the details of individual features
cannot reasonably be predicted, since the result at the antenna for any
specific frequency is the sum of what is happening in the whole system in
both amplitude and phase.  Any specific line could go up, or it could go
down!  Accurate prediction would require models of such fine detail and
such huge amounts of computing power that the fastest method of
computation is to forget digital modeling altogether and use the faster
and more credible results of an analog computer.  In this instance, the
model is the actual system, and the computation is the taking of actual
measurements, by you in the lab.

how about the peak emission in frequency domain as the function of VDD,
from my measurements the relationship is strange !

It's proportional to peak or RMS dI/dt, which is a combination of logic
swing, load impedance (and linearity), and rise/fall times.
