Product Lineup
We offer the following product editions to meet your needs.
- 1. EMIStream Standard Edition
- Easily identify potential EMI design issues and receive recommendations with simple operations, without requiring specialized EMI expertise. Effective default thresholds are based on EMIStream's proven track record.
- 2. EMIStream Expert Edition
- In addition to all the features of the EMIStream Standard Edition, the Expert Edition supports more advanced analysis and customizable thresholds and parameters. It enables more detailed EMI investigation through checks and analyses tailored to the target device.
- 3. EMIStream Power Electronics Edition
- This edition provides a selected set of EMI checks specifically designed for power electronics PCBs. High-speed digital signal checks are excluded, allowing focused analysis of power electronics boards. It also includes safety checking functions.
- 4. EMIStream Switching Power Supply Design Rule Check
- Visualizes current paths in power supply circuits and supports layout design to reduce noise generation and propagation through nine design rules.
- 5. EMIStream 2-Layer PCB EMI Check
- Provides rule-based checks designed for PCBs without internal planes. Additional checks effective for 2-layer boards are included to address their specific characteristics.
* Thresholds and parameters configured in the EMIStream Expert Edition can be applied to the EMIStream Standard Edition.
By having EMC experts with advanced knowledge use the Expert Edition while other developers use the Standard Edition, organizations can share and apply the expertise of their EMC specialists throughout the development process.
