Security by Design: Internet of Things Authentification and Self Testing
Have you noticed how many organizations are getting hacked lately? Businesses like Equifax aren’t the only targets of these attacks; government institutions like the NSA have also been hit. Even the Internet of Things (IoT) has been targeted. Hackers infect and control devices in order to use them as a tool for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) assaults . I’m sure you’ve gotten your credit card hacked, as well; I have. The difficult part about

PCB Design Guidelines for Designing Solar Powered Embedded Systems
Have you ever gone on a vacation and felt like you needed another one immediately after? I sure do, my last beach holiday was completely ruined by constant thunderstorms. Unpredictable weather always is always a dilemma when I’m planning ahead for my next vacation, especially if it involves outdoor activities. I take the same cautious approach when I’m designing solar-powered embedded systems intended for outdoor applications. It is a totally

Power Integrity: 5 Common Myths
Power integrity is nothing new, but it is becoming more and more of a concern and will continue to be on the forefront of people's minds moving forward. With the continuing trend of faster and smaller products, we no longer have the luxury of space. Each millimeter is precious, and we need to design that way. If you’ve been in the industry for more than a few years, you may have heard many of the following PI myths. Throw Copper at It You may

Essential PCB Design - Power Delivery Network Analysis
What’s that burning smell? Hopefully not your prototype. Try Altium's PDN Analysis Tool to easily find and prevent issues with your power delivery network. I once foolishly decided I would try my hand at woodworking. I thought I would start with something easy, you know, like a rocking chair. With my limited knowledge of structures and statics, I successfully made a chair that broke into pieces as soon as I sat down. The YouTube tutorials I used

Why You Need an Integrated Circuit Simulator
Integrated Circuit Simulation: integrated circuit simulator, or simulating ICs? You aren’t a newbie anymore but here’s why we say keep the integrated circuit creator in your toolkit. As your career progresses, you become more confident. You’ll tend to collect circuits you know work well in different designs - power supplies, filters, oscillators, etc. Most of the time these reusable blocks will work great in any place you choose to use them, but

DC Analysis of a PDN: Essential for the Digital Designer
As PCBs become increasingly miniaturized, engineers are commonly faced with incorporating multiple power planes on the same layer. While this design practice introduces coupling issues, the real question is whether they can be resolved without a dedicated PDN analysis tool. Read on to find out. DC Analysis of a PDN: Essential for the Digital Designer Is there enough copper? DC analysis of a power delivery network (“PDN”), commonly referred to as

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

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
