Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) deals with the unintentional propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy, which may cause disturbances or even physical damage in electronic or electromechanical systems. With the increase in number and density of electronic devices and systems in modern vehicles, EMC has become a substantial concern and a key cause of malfunction of automotive electronics.

EMC and Functional Safety of Automotive Electronics, 2nd Edition explores electromagnetic compatibility in the context of automotive electronics, with a close relation to functional safety as required by the central functional safety standard. Topics covered include an introduction to automotive electronics; electrical drives and charging infrastructure; fundamentals of functional safety; fundamentals of EMC, signal and power integrity; the legal framework; EMC design at the ECU Level; EMC design at the system level and in special subsystems; modelling and simulation; and test and measurement for EMC.

This new edition includes key updates to the central standard of functional safety in vehicles, ISO 26262, which was updated in 2018 after publication of the first edition of this book. In particular, the standard now covers nearly all road vehicles, including motorcycles.

Researchers, students, and engineers in the field will find this book to be a valuable guide to the essentials of EMC and functional safety and their application at all levels of automative electronics.
