Yeah, I can totally see Homer Simpson designing his SERDES bus and getting frustrated by all the additional insertion loss…
The whole via simulation issue is admittedly complicated, and I think really boils down to whether the vias are single-ended…
This past week, HyperLynx took it’s first steps into cyberspace with the introduction of HyperLynx PI Virtual Labs! What is…
Whether you are trying to correlate simulated waveforms to measured waveforms for a DDR3 signal, or board timing numbers for…
Yes, you should care about the fact that PCB traces, when actually manufactured, end up having more of a trapezoidal…
Simulations should match measurements. Otherwise, what good are they? When doing signal integrity simulations, that starts with comprehensive stackup modeling. …
At the very minimum, a good board stackup has solid reference planes for signal routing. Power demands now pretty much…
Anyone that’s ever tried to put 75-ohm video onto a PCB stackup knows how high impedance will drive layer thicknesses. …
Proper stackup design is the key to ensuring maximum performance for your PCB design. Electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity, power integrity…
