Overview

In this webinar, you will learn about PI simulation in the PADS flow.

This includes looking at power planes and stitching vias to ensure minimal DC voltage drop and current density, as well as looking at the AC effects of decoupling capacitors, VRMs, power planes, and board stackup.

What You Will Learn

  • How to analyze and solve issues with DC Drop -How to analyze and solve issues with decoupling
  • How to design a board to meet all power integrity and cost requirements
