Measuring Sub-milliOhm PDN Impedance

Measuring sub-milliOhms is difficult.  Getting low noise, sub-milliOhm measurements in very small circuits is a bit more difficult.  We recently had the opportunity to support R&D Altanova in performing this difficult measurement, here are some of the results.

Real Time FFT Makes EMI Debug So Much Easier.

Traditional swept-tuned EMI spectrum analyzers and step-tuned EMI receivers may produce misleading or entirely false measurement results when the signal under study is not steady state, but transient. See Eric Bogatin's review of a demo by Lee Hill on this subject.

Practical DDR Testing: Compliance, Validation and Debug

DDR memory interfaces are becoming increasingly common, and present a unique set of challenges to those designing high-speed embedded systems.  This article will examine what DDR interface testing is all about, concentrating primarily on the physical layer and solutions to common problems.
