How to Achieve Automotive EMC Certification Success at the First Pass
Learn how to face new EMC challenges in the automotive industry
EMC pass at the first try is possible! Successful teams use simulation for EMI free design of powertrains, IGBT modules, harness, hybrid, and electric motors for automotive applications.
‣ Learn how to use simulation to achieve EMC certification
‣ Reduce EMC certification costs, and optimize costs and time-to-market by numerical simulation
‣ Predict Conducted and Radiated Emissions to support validation based on industry standards
Background
Technical development has turned automotive systems into complex electrical and RF devices, dramatically increasing the EMC challenges for the automotive platform. Failing EMC requirements at the prototype stage leads to unsustainable extra costs and schedule delays.
In this webinar we focus on the simulation workflow to troubleshoot conducted and radiated emissions in Automotive. This will involve the modeling of new electrical powertrain systems, including IGBT power modules, PCBs, busbar, cables, magnetic components for power conversion and electrical motors.
Whether you’re laying out a PCB board, taking a module in for testing, designing cable harnessing, or responsible for meeting full vehicle regulatory EMC requirements, this webinar will give you additional tools that can help you achieve EMC testing success at the first pass.
