Designing for the FPGA Pin Mapper Designing for the FPGA Pin Mapper It is a well-known fact that FPGA IO names must meet specific syntax requirements in Verilog or VHDL. The naming convention used in Altium Designer schematics doesn’t always meet these criteria specified by the hardware description languages (HDL). As a result, there can often be a mismatch between PCB net names and the actual FPGA signal names. As more users experiment with the FPGA Pin Mapper tool in Altium Designer, they will discover that the Read Article
Target impedance What Target Impedance Should You Use in Your PDN? The target impedance in your PDN can be easily determined by looking at the datasheets for your components. Read Article
PCB power plane mixed-signal PCB layout Overlapping Planes in PCB Mixed-Signal Layouts Do you know which planes to overlap in your mixed-signal PCB layout? We’ll dig into these issues with overlapping planes at different potentials. Read Article
Designing with Shock Management for Avionics PCBs Designing with Shock Management for Avionics PCBs Of all the electronics application areas, there is one that needs to consider mechanical and thermal shocks during design: avionics. An avionics designed system that is put into production within a satellite, aircraft, or spacecraft can experience strong vibration and mechanical shock during flight, and these systems need to be designed with high reliability in mind. IPC standards, MIL-PRF standards, and other standards specify some design Read Article
