IBM's EMSAT applies a set of 16 rules to a board design to provide guidance about the potential landmines the design might have stepped on.
With permission from Moss Bay EDA, distributors of IBM's EMSAT, here is a brief summary of the 16 IBM design guidelines for good EMC design:
To examine the nature of the relationships among the variables, correlations between EMSAT and the dependent measures were computed using one-tailed tests in conjunction with the hypothesized sign (see Table 2).
To gain additional insight into the balance issue, the data were split into two sets, EMSAT [greater than or equal to] .
The database was created in Cadence Allegro, and the Design Rule Checker is IBM's
EMSAT EMC rule checker, configured as an SI rule checker.
