EMC engineering for automotive — secured for multiple markets.

In the automotive environment, complex vehicle electrical systems, many interfaces, short development cycles and high reliability requirements come together. A function that works on the test bench must also stay stable under electrical interference, temperature cycling and in interplay with other control units.

We support the development and validation of control units, vehicle-electrical-system electronics, battery systems, communication interfaces and test setups. We consider hardware, embedded software, EMC and test not separately, but as a connected system.

SAMD supports automotive projects from technical analysis through electronics and software development to EMC pre-testing, fault analysis and validation. This makes risks visible early – before they endanger the schedule, approval or start of production.

On the EMC side, automotive electronics have to be prepared for different markets and approval paths. We work throughout development along common requirements — CISPR 25 (radio disturbance at component and vehicle level), ISO 11452 (immunity), LV 124 as well as OEM-specific standards such as TL 81000 or MBN 50284. That way a limit value never becomes an approval risk at the end of the project.

As a partner in the Wolfsburg/Braunschweig automotive cluster (site in Meine, EMC lab in Harbke) we know the requirements of OEMs and suppliers — from ECU and drive system through to worldwide approval. (Check standard revisions against the valid edition before use.)
