Articles by Tyler Huddleston, Signal Edge Solutions

In this article, Tyler Huddleston explores causality in relation to signal and power integrity simulations. He reviews how causality affects time-domain simulation fidelity as well as how non-causal s-parameters can result from real measurements and simulations. Learn about how non-causal data can be avoided and the consequences of using a non-causal model in time-domain simulations.

This article covers the importance of proper calibration, measurement, and de-embedding to ensure that the final capacitor model is free of errors, allowing an accurate representation of the PDN used in simulation. While capacitor models may play a seemingly minor role in the overall system design, the impact of capacitor models can significantly impact the system design and, importantly, design sign-off.
