Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, & EMC Blog 

Unlock the full potential of your power integrity simulations and power integrity analysis with our extensive SI/PI Library. We've partnered with leading manufacturers like Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, and Renesas to provide you with a comprehensive suite of pre-defined component models, including VRMs, regulators, and passive components. This powerful library is designed to support true end-to-end simulation, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your custom ASICs, GPUs

Touchstone Models and Scattering Parameters: Fundamentals and Importance in SI/PI Touchstone® (SnP) models are a key asset in the fields of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) when analyzing high-data rate, high-speed designs. These frequency-domain models characterize the linear behavior of passive interconnects and components such as PCB traces, vias, connectors, and packages by describing how signals are reflected and transmitted at various ports across a wide r

When we teach about S-parameters and modeling, someone never fails to ask “What is causality?”  or “What happens if a model isn’t causal?”  Our go-to explanation is that it's a cause and effect thing: a system is causal if its output doesn’t respond before its input changes. In a causal universe, the light shouldn't turn on before you flip the switch. This seems straightforward. After all, if you're modeling or measuring a physical system — say, interconnects between a drive

The rise of AI and data centers is placing higher performance demands on systems than ever before, which requires increasingly advanced...

The grind of repetitive lab tasks  can be a major drain on an engineer's time and energy. Think about those hours spent manually collecting data for something like a Voltage Regulator Module's Vout vs. Iout characteristics, the process is tedious and prone to human error. Fortunately, the solution is closer than you may think. Today's test equipment is increasingly capable of automation , offering a powerful path to efficiency and accuracy . If you've been wondering how to ge
