EMI Risk Management: a necessity for safe and reliable programmable electronics

Programmable electronic systems are used for critical and/or safety-related functions in more and more application areas: medical sector, machine building, mechatronics, automotive, railway, avionics, aerospace, robotics,# However, all electronic devices are increasingly vulnerable to ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI). Silicon die shrinking (hence lower operating voltages) reduces the immunity to EMI, while the environment becomes more #polluted# with ElectroMagnetic disturbances. Without appropriate #EMI Risk Management# there will be safety risks for people in general as well as financial risks for manufacturers and service providers. EMI Risk Management combines expertise from the disciplines Functional Safety and ElectroMagnetic Compatibility. These disciplines have evolved completely separately over the years. This project wants to bridge this gap, thereby allowing to develop the required practical expertise to assist industry i n implementing EMI Risk Management in practice.
