Tools for Transient Signal Analysis in Circuit Design Tools for Transient Signal Analysis in Circuit Design You can perform transient signal analysis with any of these circuits with the right simulator. I still remember my first differential equations class. One of the first topics that was discussed was damped oscillator circuits and transient signal response, which arises in many different physical systems. A transient response in an interconnect and on power rails in your PCB is a source of bit errors, timing jitter, and other signal integrity Read Article
Modular Layout and Design vs. Hardware Cloning Modular Layout and Design vs. Hardware Cloning Modular layout for Lapka’s Project Ara From enterprise software to signal processing, modular design is now the norm for many advanced product design and analysis tasks. Modular hardware design leverages several independent modules to create a unique, customizable system. In the hardware ecosystem, a modular design for an embedded board involves laying out modules with their own well-defined connections and functions. This typically starts with a Read Article
Beyond the Drawing Board: A Lesson Learned in Flex Design Beyond the Drawing Board: A Lesson Learned in Flex Design Several recent blogs have been discussing “war stories” about flex and rigid-flex and the lessons learned when problem-solving and ultimately resolving the issue. We all have them. Flex is part art, part science, and even with the best of intentions and great attention to detail, there are occasionally “surprises” in performance. Most often they seem to defy logic until we stumble on the solution, and then of course everything is crystal clear in Read Article
The Modular Single Board Computer Design Process The Modular Single Board Computer Design Process Modular design is a design process that has been gaining momentum over the last decade, especially in the world of embedded computing. A good example is in single board computers, sensor boards for data streaming, and some evaluation boards. This design approach breaks down a generic system into several independent parts (modules) that can be linked together to increase the functionality of a device. They are independent in the sense that a Read Article
A First Look at Altium Designer 20 A First Look at Altium Designer 20 November marks the launch of Altium Designer 20, and we thought you’d be like to hear from a couple of Altium veteran “insiders” about what you can expect to see in this latest release. Lawrence Romine, VP of Corporate Marketing and Ben Jordan, Technical Marketing Director, Corporate (both engineers) share what their favorite new features are and which ones they think will have the most impact on your day-to-day designs.
