Overview

Most OEM environmental specifications (including Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC):

• Do not address many contemporary issues - limited value add.
• "Cookbook" approach (always done it this way) - lots of baggage.
• Expensive and time consuming to implement.

Product Issues

• Details in SAE Information Report J2628, (Characterization, Conducted Immunity, July 2007).
• Based on real world issues often missed in typical Product Assurance/Validation process.
• Uses relatively simple, low cost techniques and includes many functions in one package (does not require a test laboratory environment).
• Makes it practical (fast, inexpensive) for Hardware-Software Robustness and Design Margin testing throughout the design process.
• Enables early detection of issues and a lean testing process.
• Capability to do many OEM, ISO, etc Conducted Immunity EMC tests.
• Recreates "real world" transient events (unlike the unrealistic simulations of ISO 7637).
• Creates other waveforms via a 2 channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and 2 channel DC power amplifier. Fast waveforms use the Electronic Switch module.
• Evaluates non ideal DUT switch signal inputs via a 4 channel switch simulator that creates random noise on switch transitions. Also simulates non ideal switch impedances.

Modular Units

• Power Op Amps - switching power supplies.
• 0-20 KHz, 0-24 volts.
• Channel 1 = 150 watts (e.g. Battery power)
• Channel 2 = 50 watts (e.g. Ignition signal)

• 2 channels
• PC Controlled via USB
• Easy to use waveform editor.

• 1us rise/fall time
• Capability = 10 amps
• Voltage Source = 1.5 - 20 volts, 1.5 amp (apply to DC amp for more power).

• Creates random bounce at switch transitions (adjustable)
• 4 channels, separate or simultaneous activation.
• Includes non ideal switch impedances.
