High-speed interfaces like TX and RX lines for SFP connectors, PCIe lanes, and Media Independent Interface (MII) routing use AC coupling capacitors between drive and receive components. AC coupling capacitors perform a simple function: they remove DC bias from a differential signal so that the differential voltage sensed at the receiver is within a certain range. The receiver can restore its own DC bias offset on the received differential signal...

Electrical Engineering icon
Today’s increasingly dense and complex designs combined with tighter logic-level noise margins are increasingly susceptible to power distribution network (PDN) issues because they require very stable power delivery to reliably function. Left unchecked, PDN issues can result in failed EMI compliance certification, delayed product introduction and intermittent field failures. Rather than treating PDN issues as a post-prototype design consideration...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have seen extensive use in software development. We’ve seen several impressive examples on the main Altium blog. But the use of AI in engineering fields beyond software has been slower to develop. There is, however, one area of hardware development where AI can provide huge benefits: AI requirements management. If you think about how engineering requirements work, they tend to live in large documents filled with text...

This blog summarizes the key lessons from the presentation at Iteration22; “Joe Justice, Wikispeed - Everyone Must Be a Chief Engineer at SpaceX.” Small independent engineering companies have taken center stage in developing high-tech hardware creations that were once the realm of large organizations and nation-states. This transformation has been facilitated by the convergence of lower technology costs and a shift towards more adaptable working...
