Optimizing Layer Stackup and Impedance for High-Speed PCB Design

In today’s high-speed PCB designs, increased transmission lines, clock frequencies, and data rates pose significant challenges. Neglecting these factors can affect performance, power consumption, and compliance. Learn how to tackle these issues with Altium Designer by mastering the layer stack manager to efficiently create stackups, manage materials, and ensure optimal design performance.

Attend this live webinar covering the following:

Current trends in electronics development
Stackup definition and material selection for the design
PCB transmission line model and impedance calculations
Defining impedance profiles
High-Speed Rules definition
Advanced Routing to meet design needs
