EMC/EMI Challenges for the Connected Car
ABSTRACT Our automobiles are becoming more connected and reliant on wireless connectivity, and at the same time, the number of high-compute internal systems is rapidly increasing. Like any high-speed, complex digital electronic system, automotive electronics can be both a cause of, and highly sensitive to, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and the consequences of failure can … [Read more...]
EMC Simulation for Automotive Ethernet
Introduction The increasing use of electronics in vehicles introduces new risks of interference and crosstalk between components. OEMs and government regulators impose strict limits on electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and redesigning a component that fails to meet these standards can be both expensive and time-consuming. This article … [Read more...]
