EMC design and regulatory seminar

Who should attend?

If you think EMC compliance is challenging or expensive, EMI/EMC seminars are a good choice for your business. Seminars help a variety of individuals involved in the product design and development process.

These seminars are intended for design engineers and technical project managers involved in regulatory compliance of digital and RF equipment. Design fundamentals related to EMI/EMC and digital circuit designs will be explained thoroughly.

Here are a few groups that may benefit from the seminar:

  1. Digital design and mechanical engineers and project managers
  2. EMI test engineers/technicians
  3. PWB layout persons
  4. System integrators

Any business that creates electronic devices may benefit from such a seminar. A wide range of businesses produce electronics and need to know about EMC design, including those in the medical, automotive and consumer electronics industries.

Why is EMI/EMC Training Important?

Companies that produce modern electronic devices must submit products to EMI or EMC testing to ensure they conform with specific national requirements. People designing electronic devices can use EMI/EMC training to create more compatible designs early on — without many rounds of costly and time-consuming redesigns.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an ability of a device to work in environments with other electronic devices without causing issues. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a disturbance that affects device performance. Other devices are the most common cause of interference, but interference can also come from solar radiation and electric storms. Device designers should focus on EMC designs that eliminate EMI.

There are many benefits of learning more about EMC and EMI, such as understanding regulatory requirements to ensure devices meet requirements before testing and getting products to market faster.

What’s involved in EMI/EMC training seminars?

EMI/EMC workshops involve instruction and various demonstrations to teach people who produce electronic devices about the fundamentals of EMI/EMC design. Compatible Electronics uses experienced professionals with an in-depth knowledge of relevant product design topics.

Seminars from Compatible Electronics cover a range of expertise, from beginner-level classes to more specified programs. Here are our four main topic offerings:

  • EMC Design Part 1: Courses in this category cover the basics of EMC design, including what it is and common causes of interference. Courses also cover the basics of grounding techniques, noise emission evaluation and shielding and filtering.
  • EMC Design Part 2: This section follows up on the lessons of Part 1, offering more specific information on specialized topics.
  • Regulatory: Courses in this category cover the regulatory requirements that devices must meet to sell in regions like North America and the European Union.
  • Product Safety: In this category, you can learn basic safety principles, how to design and test products and ways to conform to specific safety laws.

What people are saying

“This 4-day seminar was very well outlined. The knowledge and experience of the course instructors along with their practical examples were a valuable part of the lecture. The written course material will also be a valuable reference”. Best Regards,
Kevin (SIEMENS)

“I have attended many seminars over the past years and I must say this one with Compatible Electronics has been the best. I must say that Jeff and Shirish were both outstanding. Both of them gave answers to real world problems. If someone asked a question, both Jeff and Shirish would take the time to think about their answer and equate the answer to a real world problem that each of them has had to deal with in solving problems. In the most part I would recommend this seminar to my colleagues. I am using examples from the seminar to enhance the design of our product”. Regards,

“I wanted to thank you and your company for the EMI/EMC/ Product Safety seminar in San Diego. I honestly was not expecting to learn so much during the four days when so many of these types of company-sponsored seminars are little more than a sales pitch with some info thrown in for good measure, on the contrast, the Compatible Electronics seminar was chock full of information, good design techniques, lessons in how not to do things, and how to apply the current and forth-coming standards.
Upon my return to work I immediately found problems with a PC board we are having made for us – a ground plane directly under a common mode choke. These types of things used to not concern me, but now I understand why you shouldn’t do that”. Thanks again for a job well done! Best regards,
