 Electromagnetic Interference & Compatibility Stuff


Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) means that the device is compatible with (i.e., no interference caused by) its electromagnetic (EM) environment, and it does not emit levels of EM energy that cause EMI (electromagnetic interference) in other devices in the vicinity. EMI and EMC control are becoming more and more important every day. There is hardly any new circuit or system design that is immune from EMI/EMC considerations. As digital clocks move into the hundreds of Megahertz domain, the requirement for interference control is even more apparent. I personally feel that EMI / EMC should NOT be a seperate discipline -- rather every designer should be aware of these considerations and design their "creations" with good EMI / EMC techniques in mind from day one. But then again it's a highly imperfect world -- isn't it! The software and resources below should help make you aware of good EMI / EMC practices and tools that are now available to help with new designs.
