Continuous System-Level Modeling and Simulation Process For Early EMC Design of Automotive Applications

An early detection of potential EMC problems in the development process of new automobiles is becoming increasingly important to the car industry. In this paper a continuous EMC simulation process based on the exchange of EMC behavior models between car manufacturer, electronic supplier and IC developer is presented. The described process fundamentally influences the introduction of new technologies in automobiles by cutting the risk of EMC failure and avoiding expensive and time-consuming redesigns.
