I’ve known about DRC (Design Rule Checking) for IC design, and the same approach can also be applied to PCB design. The continuous evolution of electronics has led to increasingly intricate PCB designs that require Electrical Rule Checking (ERC) to ensure that performance goals are met. This complexity poses several challenges… Read More
Electronic systems design is filled with a wide range of tools used across IC packaging design, multi-board systems, design creation, physical implementation, electro-mechanical co-design, simulation & analysis, and new product introduction. Siemens has been offering tools in this flow for many years now, so I was able… Read More
PCB and package designers need to be concerned with Signal Integrity (SI) issues to deliver electronic systems that work reliably in the field. EDA vendors like Siemens have helped engineers with SI analysis using a simulator called HyperLynx, dating all the way back to 1992. Siemens even wrote a 56-page e-book recently, Signal… Read More
While constraint-driven design is not a new concept, the demand for automation and integration between design and analysis tools has grown with increasing design complexity. Optimizing constraints with AI/ML is a driving force for the productivity necessary to address today’s compressed design cycles. Tight integration… Read More

Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) issues are critical to analyze, ensuring the proper operation of PCB systems and IC packages, yet the computational demands from EDA tools can cause engineers to only analyze what they deem are critical signals, instead of the entire system. Cadence has managed to overcome this SI/PI… Read More
Located in Raleigh (map) near Research Triangle Park makes this a prime area for this highly technical conference on electronics. There will be 16 technical sessions, a keynote address, a vendor exhibition with over 70 companies participating, food throughout the day, and best of all, this event is FREE
Join us to be among the first to explore HyperLynx breakthrough technologies designed to redefine user experience and boost design productivity. Released in September 2024, these innovations are tailored to address the most pressing challenges faced by design engineers,… Read More
PCB designers have been using manual routing for decades now, so when is it time to consider adding interactive routing technologies to become more productive? Manually routing traces to connect components will take time from a skilled team member and involves human judgement that will introduce errors. When a design change … Read More
From Zion Research I learned that the flexible electronics market was about $13.2B in 2021 and growing at a CAGR of 21%, so that was impressive. There are several factors that make rigid-flex circuit so attractive, like: space efficiency, reduced weight, enhanced reliability, improved signal integrity, streamlined assembly,… Read More
