Signal Integrity

Learn how you can tackle high-speed and high-frequency PCB designs

Your design data can be used in simulations to manage PDN impedance. Here’s how this works in PSpice from Cadence.

What’s the difference between power spectrum vs power spectral density? Here’s how these important concepts relate to your signals.

Analog signals can contain undesired harmonic components, but harmonic termination can be used to remove undesired frequency components.

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.

Coupled loads analysis is critical for assessing reliability of spacecraft. Here’s how the results can be used in PCB design.

Use thermal FEA simulator for your heat management problems to keep your PCB running at acceptable temperature.

There’s a lot more to grounding and voltage routing on your PCB design then simply dropping some vias, you need advanced CAD tool features to do the job right.

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.

You see, it’s like this. When two circuits love each other very much, they form a life-long bond and then little Diffs are propagated. Not really, but when we peruse the net names attached to the...

The newer generation parts have a pin configuration with two different pitches. The core has a grid of larger pins that are used to supply power and ground. That pin-field is surrounded by...

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.

Piezoelectric load cell transducers provide high sensitivity measurements with broad range and low threshold.

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

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