How to Optimize Your Power Distribution Network in Only Four Steps

How to Optimize Your Power Distribution Network in Only Four Steps Modern designers face a problem that we traditionally did not have to think about: Power Distribution Network () integrity. We have all seen the need for signal integrity for decades, but power integrity has fallen to the wayside for just as long. Traditionally we have had plenty of space to use dedicated power planes that easily supplied our designs with everything they required for operation. But as we continue to push the physical limits of Read Article

How to Address Design Issues Before It’s Too Late

How to Address Design Issues Before It’s Too Late What measures do you take to see past the quality testing of your PCB to ensure you never have to worry about issues post-production? The key lies in analysis automation. Read on to learn more. “ I ran PDN Analyzer^™ on a board currently in fabrication and already caught a mistake I made. I had a footprint peppered with vias and forgot to make them blinds and they were eating up my power plane. is proving to be a very useful tool to identify these Read Article

The Power of Integration - Why Analysis Belongs to PCB Designers

The Power of Integration - Why Analysis Belongs to PCB Designers PCB designers often rely on simulation tools or prototypes for their network data, but this approach can disrupt design flow and drain funds. What if designers were capable of analyzing their network during the board layout process? Read on to find out how designers are increasing productivity with access to analysis data at design time. As the complexity of our product designs increases each year, so do the requirements of our designs. And Read Article

The Power of PDN Analysis Automation

The Power of PDN Analysis Automation Relying on a prototype for analysis into your network costs time and money. Leveraging automation tools like the PDN Analyzer^™ can reduce costs and allow the engineer to optimize designs without relying on a prototype. Read on for more information. “There’s nothing worse than an engineer dropping a via stitch array late in the RF design process and leaving barely any power plane copper left to carry current on a board makes it painfully obvious Read Article

Is IPC-2152 Holding Your Power Integrity Back?

Is IPC-2152 Holding Your Power Integrity Back? For most designers, the Power Distribution Network (PDN) is a foreign and intimidating part of the PCB design process. But achieving optimal PDN performance is not as complicated as it seems. For many designers, the Power Distribution Network (PDN) is a foreign and intimidating part of the PCB design process. But achieving optimal PDN performance is not as complicated as it seems. In fact, the fundamental goal of optimizing your PDN can be as Read Article

The Basics of PDN for the PCB Designer

The Basics of PDN for the PCB Designer When PCB designers hear the term “PDN”, or “Power Distribution Network”, it might conjure up notions of bode plots, black magic, and other mysterious, scary things. In reality, the goal of the PDN is as straightforward as are most of the PCB design aspects that aﬀect PDN performance. In this paper we’ll explain the various aspects of most PDN designs and how the PCB design software can inﬂuence them. OVERALL GOAL: SUFFICIENT CURRENT AND VOLTAGE Read Article
