PCB design guidelines are created as benchmarks for circuit design engineers to meet the industry standards. Following these guidelines will ensure better manufacturability and robust product ...

Editor's note: This article addresses the need for designers of printed circuit boards for nextgen ICs to be savvy about package-on-package technology. New ways of working with sub-assembly printed ...

Following on the success of the last book that I excerpted in the Design Column of the EDA Designline, I have another book for you. This one is targeting PCB designers as the primary market, but there ...

No gadget in this episode, I thought instead I’d write about a book I purchased recently. It is Eric Bogatin’s “Signal and Power Integrity — Simplified” second edition. Like most of you, I’ve got a ...

In today’s high-speed digital designs, signal-integrity issues such as reflections, excessive losses, and crosstalk can degrade system performance. There are techniques through the use of time-domain ...

While in the market for a memory upgrade recently, I was surprised by the availability of commercial DDR memories. You can get 8GB of DDR3 memory, transferring 17GB/s, relatively inexpensively. The ...

S parameters play a dominant role in high speed PCB simulation and verification. Generation of S parameters is relatively easy at high frequency in comparison to other parameters like Y and Z. In this ...

With more connections being packed into backplanes, signal integrity becomes a concern. However, misconceptions have arisen around solving this problem. Elma Electronic's Ovidiu Mesesan sets the ...
