How to Use SFP Connectors in Your PCB Layout
SFP connectors are used to route data into fiber optic transceiver modules, which are normally found in high-speed networking equipment. Today, however, I’ve had multiple design requests that involve the use of fiber transceivers outside of a data center environment. Newer systems in sensor fusion, MIMO systems , rugged OpenVPX switches, and some industrial robotics need to stream huge amounts of data back to a workstation or server, with data

Power Integrity Analysis in Your PCB Design Software
Power integrity problems can abound in modern PCBs, especially high-speed boards that run with fast edge rates. These systems require precise design of the PDN impedance to ensure stable power is always delivered throughout the system. Without carefully considering the PDN impedance, you’re at risk of creating ripple and noise in the power distribution network when fast signals switch states. As more signals switch in large ICs, the result is the

High-Speed PCB Design Analysis: Simulations and Signal Integrity Checks
High speed PCB design analysis is an admittedly broad area, comprising basic calculations of important design details, as well as simulations to verify a PCB layout. Some important evaluations are performed in the schematic, or at the very beginning of a design when a layout is being planned. These analysis techniques also have different levels of difficulty or advancement, and they will sometimes require an external program to fully evaluate the
