Material matters An engineer asked me recently about the relationship between trace width and insertion loss while adjusting dielectric height…
beneath the surface of every high-performance circuit lies an unsung champion: Impedance (Z).
Impedance is an important concept in many different realms of engineering. We often see it in our everyday life, especially…
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. …
Anyone that’s ever tried to put 75-ohm video onto a PCB stackup knows how high impedance will drive layer thicknesses. …
We’re finally on to the next logical step in our study of signal integrity – impedance. So what is impedance…
