If you want help measuring things, there’s no cheaper way to do it than this!

In today’s ever-changing PCB requirements arena, DC drop caused by IR losses are becoming a bigger concern for design engineers. Along with the IC currents demands increasing the currents carried on the PCB are rising as the voltages, and voltage margins, decrease. As the currents increase so do the heating effects of IR drop and their consequences to the PCB design. SIwave introduces a new solver type for design engineers to investigate preliminary thermal performance on designs.

Power Delivery Network(PDN) time domain noise analysis is an essential part for SI/PI/EMI analysis, SIwave can utilize CPM’s current PWL file as a current sink for transient analysis combed with C4 bump’s RLC parasitics to give more realistic and accurate noise value.

Keysight ADS 2016 features a host of new, technologies designed to improve productivity, including two electromagnetic (EM) software solutions specifically created to help signal and power integrity engineers improve high-speed link performance in PCB designs. What follows is a listing of 8 ways in which ADS 2016 can help you, the engineer, overcome your signal and power integrity challenges.
