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
