High-Speed Design

This article is about Vertical Conductive Structures (VeCS) and how they are used to benefit high-density routing in a printed circuit board design.

Is thermal paste needed for your board’s assembly can be determined by following the checklist we provide in this blog.

Although Verilog is an HDL, it is more of a hardware modeling language and thus more suited for verification than VHDL.

Heat sink CFD simulations give the aerodynamic profile of a system, which helps the designers address thermal problems through heat sink geometry optimization.

Changes in current flow and voltage are calculated and analyzed with the help of inductance equations.

The finite-difference time-domain method is a discrete approximation of Maxwell's equations that numerically solves in both time and 3-dimensional space.

Good PCBA design requires that you effectively use impedances in parallel to improve signal integrity and maximize power transfer. Let’s look at how.

Coupling capacitance is one parasitic element that causes signal bleed between different circuits. Here’s how to model and extract coupling capacitance.

This article is about what EMC circuit performance is, why it is important to your PCB design, along with some useful EMI control tips for your next project.

This article looks at what stripline transmission line routing is, and how you can use your design tools to more effectively route these sensitive traces.

Using power flow calculations to optimize your signals during design, as discussed in this blog, can shave time and costs from your board development process.

Controlling crosstalk is one of the most important aspects of signal integrity. Here’s how you can use Allegro’s post-layout analysis tools to examine crosstalk in your PCB.

A Steady State Thermal Analysis provides insight into a device’s functionality and performance under extreme thermic conditions.

Signal plane stackups will determine trace impedance, power integrity, and signal integrity. You’ll need to design the right stackup for your digital or analog system.

Here are the top five PCB design guidelines for analog circuits that will help you in your mix-circuit PCB designs.

Via-in-pad design is one of the best solutions for routing high-density PCB designs. Here is more information on what VIPs are and how they can be used.
