In today’s ever-shrinking IC package design cycles, it is almost imperative that we catch and correct routing issues as early as possible, which makes simulation an integral part of the design cycle.

January 29, 2014. At DesignCon, Altium, a global provider of design automation and embedded software development tools, teamed up with Nimbic, a provider of electromagnetic simulation solutions for ...

Signal integrity is a critical design consideration in modern electronic systems, particularly those that depend on high-speed interconnects. As data rates climb and interconnect geometries become ...

Maintaining the quality and reliability of electrical signals as they travel through interconnects is proving to be much more challenging with chiplets and advanced packaging than in monolithic SoCs ...

The physical geometry of a power network is critical to its performance,so most software vendors use field-solver technologyin their power-integrity tools (Reference 3). These toolsshould give you a ...

The “Special Report—Test Applications” in our January issue focuses on the software tools as well as logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, BERTs, phase-noise testers, spectrum analyzers, vector network ...
