ASIL compliance starts with field-based PCB design. Learn how electromagnetic design improves EMC, SI, PI, and safety in automotive electronics.

This application note explains how ASIL compliance depends on controlling electromagnetic behavior at the design stage, beyond ISO 26262 and IPC requirements. It introduces a field-based PCB design approach that focuses on how electromagnetic fields in the spaces between conductors determine signal integrity, power integrity, EMC performance, and ultimately system safety. By addressing these interactions early, designers can reduce rework and make ASIL compliance a more predictable outcome.
