In the small PCB world requiring PoP, high reliability and excellent signal integrity demand that a single trace be no more than 2.5 to 3 mils between BGA pads, as shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1: High ...

PCB Signal integrity & Stackup design. Ever more complex PCB designs require layer stackups to be considered even before you layout the design. As a designer there are now vast choices of base ...

Keysight’s Electrical Performance Scan (EP-Scan) is a digital simulation tool for hardware engineers and PCB designers that performs rapid signal integrity analysis. EP-Scan provides diagnostics to ...

These devices enable system architects and hardware designers to future-proof designs for emerging standards like PCIe Gen 7.

In high-speed PCB design, late-stage signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) issues can lead to costly redesigns and delays. This white paper explores how in-design analysis helps engineers ...

How best to deal with grounding. A mixed-signal printed-circuit-board (PCB) design requires basic understanding of analog and digital circuitry to minimize, if not prevent, signal interference.

Cadence Design Systems’ Sigrity 2016 technology portfolio can, the company says, improve product creation time with an enhanced PCB design and analysis methodology that is suitable for for ...

The trade-off here can be made between material cost and system design complexity. Moreover, signals can couple to adjacent signals in the package and vias on the PCB interfering with the adjacent ...

For example, if there is an issue with signal integrity, input from both the layout designer and the signal integrity engineer can be critical in identifying and addressing the root cause. Streamlined ...
