An Intuitive Approach to Understanding Basic High-Speed Layout

What is a wire? At high speeds, it behaves very differently from what we were taught in college. This presentation on high-speed basics makes the subject intuitive in a way that’s easily understood.... [more]

Feeding the Beast: Consumption-Based PCB Design

A step-by-step guideline for determining the PCB design requirements based on device energy consumption requirements. Wave cycle times and transmission line capacity form the basis of this... [more]

Designing and Analyzing High Frequency Interconnects

High frequency PCB designs carry a unique set of challenges due to concentration of signal power in a narrow bandwidth. To design high frequency interconnects, designers must consider an entire... [more]

PCB Design of Power Distribution and Decoupling

Power distribution in PCBs is the foundation around which all things work in the circuit. If this is not designed correctly, the entire circuit is at risk from noise and signal integrity issues, to... [more]
