EMBoardCheck - powered by IBM - for automatic EMC/SI rule checks on Printed Circuit Boards

EMBoardCheck is a straight-forward and easy-to-use tool in order to check for EMC and SI rule violations on Printed Circuit Boards. All rules are predefined and can be easily optimized for the specific board technology and data rates with only a few mouse clicks.

Over 200 man years of IBM engineers' experience in EMC and SI issues resulted in a set of the most important EMC/SI rules. These EMC and SI rules form the kernel of EMBoardCheck.
The result of IBM's EMC expertise, combined with SimLab's importing capabilities plus the powerful and intuitive graphical layout viewer is: EMBoardCheck, a leading-edge software tool for EMC/SI rules checking.

Why is EMBoardCheck so valuable to you?

• Intuitive and wizard-oriented user interface
• Visual indication of the rule violations on the PCB design
• Easy to learn and to re-use
• Import functionality of popular PCB layout tools presently from: Altium, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Zuken
• Instantly available EMC board rules thoroughly verified by IBM engineers
• Rules can be easily tailored to your needs
• Rules can be enabled or disabled for your dedicated analyses
• Powerful EMC violation viewer of imported PCB layouts
• Rule check analysis settings can be stored and re-used
• Areas of EMC violations on the PCB and related nets or components are automatically highlighted
• Graphic output into common formats for easy reporting and documentation
• Combines state-of-the-art board design rule checks with powerful importing or viewing capabilities and state-of-the-art usability

You simply load the desired layout design file, define the rules you want to apply, set the rule parameters, select the nets and components of interest, and with a few mouse clicks EMBoardCheck presents visually the diagnosed EMC or SI rule violations.

There is neither the need to spend time in order to develop, optimize, and validate a set of EMC/SI rules nor the need to implement such EMC/SI rules in sophisticated programmer's languages. Everything is already there and ready to be used for your application.

EMBoardCheck can be easily integrated into your development workflow and puts you in a position to discover and repair EMC issues very early resulting in significant time-to-market and cost savings.
