Enhancing PCB Performance with Embedded Capacitance and EDA Tools

On-Demand
Menu

Abstract

Engineers are facing a growing challenge in PCB design: ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), signal integrity (SI), and power integrity (PI) all while dealing with limited space. PCBs often lack room for decoupling capacitors, have height restrictions like those on PCIe cards, and face demands for miniaturization. To overcome these obstacles, we need to incorporate thorough PI analysis and verification using modern Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools.

Participants can expect to gain a comprehensive understanding of embedded capacitance materials, including their definition and applications. The webinar will provide detailed guidance on how to implement embedded capacitance materials in PCB designs, ensuring attendees are equipped with practical knowledge and techniques. Additionally, the webinar will cover strategies to optimize power integrity analysis and verification, offering valuable insights to enhance design efficiency and performance.

What you will learn:

  • Greater understanding of embedded capacitance materials
  • Tips for PCB design and stack-up creation using embedded capacitance materials
  • Techniques to optimize PI analysis and verification
  • How to run power integrity simulations and interpret the results”

Who should attend:

  • Hardware Engineers
  • PCB Designers
  • SI/PI/EMC Engineers
  • Engineering directors and managers
