Accurate Modeling of PCIe 3.0 Analog Buffers

High speed PCBs should never contain discontinuous grounding, but lower frequency power electronics could use this strategy. Here’s how to simulate grounding.

Forward and reverse biasing gives a circuit designer optimal control over a diode's functionality.

You can optimize your signal chain to receive and transmit maximum peak envelope power with the right circuit simulator.

rontend electronics manufacturing works toward the wafer fabrication of a semiconductor. This process has various workflows and necessities associated with the creation of semiconductors.

A purely resistive circuit is a circuit that has inductance so small that at its typical frequency, its reactance is insignificant.

With a solder joint reliability simulation, you can determine whether your board will operate within thermal cycling limits.

Verify your component choices with probabilistic design for reliability. You can use this technique to determine chances of failure in your next PCB.

If thermal management is a problem in your PCB, you can map heat flow and steady state temperature in your board with a heat finite element solver.

Your next power supply design or impedance matching network might be a pi filter. Here’s how these work and how to simulate them.

If you’re designing corrosion protection systems, you’ll need to gather cathodic current measurements in controlled experiments.

Linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic voltammetry measurements are critical for examining battery operating ranges and designing charging systems.

Current in electronics is an eternal process of consideration and reconsideration. Inductive currents can be particularly difficult to match or determine necessities for.

Using a thin-film resistor provides lower profile and more reliable operation up to high frequency.

Schottky diode components are less well-known than silicon diodes, but they provide some important advantages in rectifying circuits.

When creating and installing a 4x4 matrix keypad in your device, you’ll want to keep these reminders in mind.

If you’re building power amplifiers or RF amplifiers, you need SiC SPICE model and analysis tools in your PCB design software.

A linear bilateral network exhibits a linear relationship, and yet simultaneously, the magnitude of the current is separate from the polarity of the voltage.

Remember the 555 timer? Newer bistable multivibrator circuits can take pulse triggering applications to the next level.

Here are the important Shockley diode characteristics and how these devices form the basis of thyristors.

You’ll need to know about amplitude modulation and signal integrity when working with balanced modulator circuits in your designs.
