What is EMC?

Electromagnetic Compatibility

EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) is a device's ability to operate correctly without emitting excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) or being disrupted by it — a mandatory requirement in most markets.

EMC is engineered in from the schematic and layout stage; fixing failures after fabrication is slow and costly. Pre-compliance testing catches issues before an accredited lab does.
