Automotive EMC seminars include Silverstone tour

Seminars offer practical advice on the design and testing of electronic circuits for applications in the automotive environment such as engine management units, telematics, body controls etc

3C Test is organising a series of automotive EMC seminars that incorporate a tour of the Silverstone Circuit, covering the circuit, the paddock, pit lane, the winners podium and race control. Covering practical advice on the design and testing of electronic circuits for applications in the automotive environment such as engine management units, telematics, body controls etc, the day also examines the vehicle EMC environment and how to optimise design choices of component selection and layout to maximise probability of passing EMC tests.
Specific techniques for high field and ESD immunity required for the vehicle environment are covered, including the impact on power lines and databuses used in automotive applications The seminars are designed to appeal to electronic circuit designers, layout engineers, design managers and test engineers operating in the supply of design services and electronic products to vehicle makers and their suppliers.

Final sections look at the plethora of standards that exist worldwide, highlighting those that are the most difficult to meet.

Also featured are vehicle manufacturers' bespoke standards and test methods and how the above techniques will help meet these test requirements.
