The Fantastic Four Make an Appearance at the IPC Designer Council Couldn't make it to your last IPC Council meeting? Read about some of the great insights presented during this month's meeting including a look into the future of analysis in Altium Designer^®. how's that? The Fantastic Four Make an Appearance at the IPC Council The Fantastic Four made a special appearance at the IPC Council - OC Chapter on Wednesday, March 2, 2016. Not the superheroes, of course, we’re talking about the four fantastic things that Read Article

New PDN Analysis Extension Now Available for Altium Designer Read about a new extension for Altium Designer^® that allows you to efficiently optimize your at design time. With digital designs continuing to increase in density and complexity, it’s more difficult and critical than ever to fully understand the impact of design decisions on your Power Distribution Network () voltage and current performance. Rather than treating issues as a post-design afterthought in a physical prototype, you need a way to Read Article

DC Analysis of a PDN: Essential for the Digital Designer As PCBs become increasingly miniaturized, engineers are commonly faced with incorporating multiple power planes on the same layer. While this design practice introduces coupling issues, the real question is whether they can be resolved without a dedicated PDN analysis tool. Read on to find out. DC Analysis of a PDN: Essential for the Digital Designer Is there enough copper? DC analysis of a power delivery network (“PDN”), commonly referred to as Read Article

Battling Your Power and Data Transmission Demands As an industry, we have approached the increased power consumption and data transmission requirements differently depending on the application of our devices and peripherals. Wouldn’t it be great to have a simplified solution that everyone could use? Do your designs invariably require more components as you struggle to maintain an elegant design? As we seek to expand the capabilities of our devices, the arduous task of keeping our board designs Read Article

How to Address Design Issues Before It’s Too Late What measures do you take to see past the quality testing of your PCB to ensure you never have to worry about issues post-production? The key lies in analysis automation. Read on to learn more. “I ran PDN Analyzer^™ on a board currently in fabrication and already caught a mistake I made. I had a footprint peppered with vias and forgot to make them blinds and they were eating up my power plane. is proving to be a very useful tool to identify these Read Article

The Power of Integration - Why Analysis Belongs to PCB Designers PCB designers often rely on simulation tools or prototypes for their network data, but this approach can disrupt design flow and drain funds. What if designers were capable of analyzing their network during the board layout process? Read on to find out how designers are increasing productivity with access to analysis data at design time. As the complexity of our product designs increases each year, so do the requirements of our designs. And Read Article

The Power of PDN Analysis Automation Relying on a prototype for analysis into your network costs time and money. Leveraging automation tools like the PDN Analyzer^™ can reduce costs and allow the engineer to optimize designs without relying on a prototype. Read on for more information. “There’s nothing worse than an engineer dropping a via stitch array late in the RF design process and leaving barely any power plane copper left to carry current on a board makes it painfully obvious Read Article

How to Optimize Your Power Distribution Network in Only Four Steps Modern designers face a problem that we traditionally did not have to think about: Power Distribution Network () integrity. We have all seen the need for signal integrity for decades, but power integrity has fallen to the wayside for just as long. Traditionally we have had plenty of space to use dedicated power planes that easily supplied our designs with everything they required for operation. But as we continue to push the physical limits of Read Article
