Read about a new extension for Altium Designer^® that allows you to efficiently optimize your at design time.

With digital designs continuing to increase in density and complexity, it’s more difficult and critical than ever to fully understand the impact of design decisions on your Power Distribution Network () voltage and current performance. Rather than treating issues as a post-design afterthought in a physical prototype, you need a way to accurately identify and resolve every IR drop and current density issue as part of your board layout process.

Altium and the simulation experts at CST^® have teamed up to offer a new extension for Altium that allows you to easily resolve issues as they arise during your board layout process. Engineers interested in trying out the new PDN Analyzer^™ extension can register now for a free trial.

Optimizing Your at Design Time

With analysis built right into your design tool, it’s easy to optimize your Power Distribution Network without ever relying on physical prototypes or having to consult simulation experts. The powered by CST^® includes:

PCB Design Guidelines for Controlled Impedance Routing

PCB Design Guide to Controlled Impedance During PCB Routing In June 1831, Sir James Clark Ross discovered the North Magnetic Pole on the Boothia Peninsula in Northern Canada. While the term “discovery” seems to indicate that the North Magnetic Pole is static, the North and South Magnetic Poles, in fact, move continuously. The Earth’s magnetic field changes over time and as those changes occur, the positions of the poles also shift. Given the rate of movement at 55 km per year, we may have another meaning 阅读文章
