“What you simulate is what you get.” This is the holy grail of many forms of system design. Achieving a high level of accuracy between predicted and actual performance can cut design time way down, resulting in better cost margins, time to market and overall success rates. Achieving a high degree of confidence in predicted performance… Read More
We all know signal integrity and power integrity are becoming more important for advanced design. Like package engineering, the obscure and highly technical art of SI/PI optimization has taken center stage in the design process. And the folks who command expertise in these areas have become the rock stars of the design team. I … Read More
Returning to basics, we’ll investigate the relationship of trace geometry to crosstalk in interconnect design, and draw some conclusions based on system constraints. Microstrip, stripline, and dual-stripline layer geometries will be examined,
