Electromagnetic interference

On June 22, 2007, STMicroelectronics and the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella announced the establishment of an Electro-Magnetics Competence Center. The center will focus its efforts on performing research in the field of Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) for automotive smart-power Integrated Circuits.
As electronic systems become more compact and faster, they increasingly run into physical limitations caused by electromagnetic compatibility issues and the difficulty of integrating components into the final design. A major technical issue today, especially for the highly demanding automotive market, is to improve design methodology and develop modeling techniques that can permit the simulation of circuit performance and avoid electromagnetic incompatibilities at an early stage, thus reducing overall design cost and time-to-market while improving reliability and performance.
