Most people severely underestimate the effort required. First the circuit must be modeled properly. This is a challenge because parts must be modeled AND toleranced. A nominal model is not enough. And most vendor supplied models are deficient in some way. They should be checked, correlated, and adjusted. Then you must run the AC analysis to confirm the supply meets stability. After that comes the pain. A series of EMC and ESD transients must be simulated, and parts checked for stress during the analysis. </p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>This sample report shows you what you are in for and why you need AEi System s help to perform this analysis correctly.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'><a href="http://aeisystems.benchurl.com/c/l?u=85A4D4F&e=DAFEC5&c=DA669&t=1&l=7A05BBE9&email=5zE5r41K4v737qy5w15puSMjpIorA9OkNyIeD9VsXLU%3D&seq=1" target=_blank>Download Sample Automotive EMC/Stability Report</a> <br> </span></b><a href="http://aeisystems.benchurl.com/c/l?u=85A4D4E&e=DAFEC5&c=DA669&t=1&l=7A05BBE9&email=5zE5r41K4v737qy5w15puSMjpIorA9OkNyIeD9VsXLU%3D&seq=2" target=_blank><b><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#660000; border:none windowtext 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:none windowtext 0in; padding:0in;background:white;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'>Automotive WCCA Example Report - Simulating Stability and EMC/ESD Transients for Automotive Power Supplies</span></b></a><b> - <a href="http://aeisystems.benchurl.com/c/l?u=85A4D4E&e=DAFEC5&c=DA669&t=1&l=7A05BBE9&email=5zE5r41K4v737qy5w15puSMjpIorA9OkNyIeD9VsXLU%3D&seq=3" target=_blank>LM25116 Stability and EMC-ESD Transient Example</a></b><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'></span></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=style41><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#333333'><img border=0 width=340 height=12 id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://www.aeng.com/newsletter/june2018/images/image004.gif" class="mobile-img-large" style='height:.125in;width:3.541in' alt="blue divider line"></span></b><span style='color:black'></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=style41><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt; color:#6C0001'>Worst Case Happens Every Day</span></b></span><span class=style41><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#6C0001'></span></b></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;background:white'><span style='color:black'>Many don t believe that the tolerance stackup is possible.

For simulations to be valid, you must gather and vet models or create them yourself; you can't usually rely on the manufacturer's model. Your models must correlate to datasheets or test data, and then you need to add tolerances to those models. Your goal is to create an accurate model with the &quot;proper&quot; fidelity. Too much fidelity results in high costs, but models that are too simple or inaccurate can result in bogus outcomes.&nbsp; </span><b><span style='color:#221E1F'> <br> <br> <a href="http://aeisystems.benchurl.com/c/l?u=7E41435&amp;e=CE34DF&amp;c=DA669&amp;t=0&amp;l=&amp;email=Ul4Dz4wyrLKLW8%2B4VRMMDjciHg%2FVbFy1&amp;seq=4" target="_blank"><span style='color:#0563C1;text-decoration:none; text-underline:none'><img border=0 width=350 id="_x0000_i1032" src="https://www.aeng.com/newsletter/june2018/images/EDN_ARTICLE.jpg" class="mobile-img-large" style='width:3.645in'></span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:16.0pt'></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size: 9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333'><img border=0 width=340 height=12 id="_x0000_i1033" src="https://www.aeng.com/newsletter/june2018/images/image004.gif" class="mobile-img-large" style='height:.125in;width:3.541in' alt="blue divider line"></span></b><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#6C0001'></span></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;background:white'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#6C0001'>Do You Need Worst Case Analysis Support?</span></b><span style='font-size: 16.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><b> <br> <u>AEi Systems performs WCCA for Space, Automotive and other applications</u>. </b>If you need electrical engineering services, <b>please contact us at 310-216-1144 or <a href="mailto:info@aeng.com">info@aeng.com</a>.</b></p> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;</p> <p class=MsoNormal>Performing WCCA for the first time is not a trivial exercise.
