As servers, routers and switching equipment shrink, managing the demand for more power in smaller packages is becoming an even bigger challenge for OEMs. Unlike signal connectors, which continue to ...

The internet-of-things, or IoT, a fast-developing application space, is forecast to grow to 50B devices by 2020. Figure 1 illustrates a smart home segment of this market. Devices communicate with each ...

Connectivity density and power delivery complexity have made power integrity one of the most critical constraints in modern system design.

For many years, power systems could be easily boiled down to a discussion of volts and amps. But for the past decade, the move to higher operating frequencies has brought another wrinkle to the power ...

Signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) are two distinct but related realms of analysis concerned with proper operation of digital circuits. In signal integrity, the main concern is making sure ...

To achieve gains in power, performance, area, and cost, 3D-IC architectures are pushing electronics design to new limits. Silicon integration technology and associated devices have undergone an ...

For power-integrity tests, users rely on oscilloscopes. However, with more precise requirements, measurement errors that approach the required measurement value are ...
