An efficient computational design optimization method, combining full-wave electromagnetic simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics® software with a space-mapping (SM) algorithm implemented in MATLAB® software.
EDI CON USA 2017, an event that brings together engineers working on high-frequency analog and high-speed digital designs, will take place at the Hynes Convention Center, September 11-13 in Boston, Mass. The event management team is pleased to announce this year’s conference chairs: Thomas Cameron, CTO for the Communications Business Unit at Analog Devices Inc. will serve as the chair for the high-frequency subject areas, and Istvan Novak, senior principal engineer at Oracle, will serve as the chair for the high-speed digital areas of the conference.
As you know, "us", Signal and Power Integrity Engineers, are full of tricks, rules of thumb, and shortcuts. These tricks mostly help us understand something, save analysis time and, why not, make us look smarter than we really are!! In that vein, seldom have I encountered a quick and dirty trick as useful and underestimated as S-parameter renormalization.
Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC2320-16, a 16-bit 1.5Msps per channel, no latency successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with eight simultaneously sampling channels supporting a rail-to-rail input common mode range. The LTC2320-16 features a flexible analog front end that accepts fully differential, unipolar or bipolar analog input signals, as well as arbitrary input signals, and maintains an 82dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 102dB, when sampling input signals up to the Nyquist frequency.
This month on the Signal Integrity Journal, we are taking a closer look at the new materials options for enhanced SI or PI performance. I recently asked Martin Cotton, director of OEM technology for the Ventec International Group, how his company saw the new materials opportunities for designers.
Keysight Technologies is offering a free workshop specifically designed for signal and power integrity engineers trying to accurately model their printed circuit boards (PCBs)—a task that is now more challenging given today’s ever increasing data rates. During the hands-on workshop, titled “Keysight EEsof EDA Simulation Tools for Signal Integrity and Power Integrity,” attendees will learn about new tools in ADS 2016 that can improve PCB simulation accuracy; in particular, the pure electromagnetic-simulation-based SIPro (Signal Integrity Professional) and PIPro (Power Integrity Professional). SIPro and PIPro provide a cohesive workflow within ADS for signal integrity and power integrity applications in high-speed digital board design.
