This past week, HyperLynx took it’s first steps into cyberspace with the introduction of HyperLynx PI Virtual Labs! What is a virtual lab you may ask? If you’ve ever wanted to give HyperLynx PI a try, but haven’t had time to go through the steps to make it happen – this is for you! No software download or installs, no license request or setup – it’s as easy as clicking … Read More

At the very minimum, a good board stackup has solid reference planes for signal routing. Power demands now pretty much require that you have at least one power/ground sandwich in your stackup as well. Ideally, you would have all the power and ground planes on the top layers in a big PWR-GND-PWR-GND alternating “Big Mac” where they were nice and close to the ICs and all the caps were mounted … Read More

I talk with a lot of customers about their designs and what’s needed to get their products out the door and for the most part, they have many of the same challenges across all industries. One of the new areas that has been challenging digital designers the most has been in power. Not necessarily designing power supply circuits, but actually looking at power delivery on the PCB (i.e. power planes, … Read More

Last week we released the official version of HyperLynx 8.1. If you've been a beta tester (I know there are a lot of you out there), make sure you go to SupportNet and get this latest release!
This release includes new technology in both HyperLynx SI and PI. Some key things in the release worth taking a look at if you haven't been beta testing:
Tons of new capabilities in HyperLynx PI but … Read More

Over the last few months, I’ve visited dozens of customers talking with them about power distribution design. Power Distribution design on the PCB is one of those areas that is fairly new to many companies, so there is a minimal amount of in-house expertise. Usually there are one or two people that are the go-to guys/gals for solving a power problem but on the whole, power distribution design (and … Read More
