Via and Trace Currents and Temperatures

Stop thinking about current density! In this 30-minute video, Doug Brooks and Dr. Johannes Adam explain the material parameters and properties that determine the temperature of a trace, how these... [more]

Designing the Signal Return Path

When designing a PCB, the signal routing and its return are critical to the circuit working properly. Great care is usually given to routing the signals, but often the return portion is the last... [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]

Novel Power Distribution System Design

This presentation will present a simple EM physics and geometry-based approach to designing power distribution networks on PCBs. From input power connection to the IC die, the simple rules discussed... [more]
