Routing DDR and high-speed bus interfaces can be one of the most daunting tasks in your design. Just getting all the various signal relationships and requirements defined and understood can feel like a PhD thesis on its own. With the new bus designer, all you need to do is simply describe the bus you are trying route and Constraint Manager for OrCAD will handle generating the appropriate constraints automatically.

In this 3-minute video, Bill Munroe, principal PCB designer in the company's Post-Silicon Group, talks about how the technology helped his team achieve 4X faster timing closure on DDR3 and DDR4...
1:48Allegro analyzes your design to provide real-time insights and feedback to help you find and avoid potential return path issues. As you work, traces are color coded so you can quickly identify potent
Easily and quickly identify impedance discontinuity issues visually, without simulation models or extensive signal integrity expertise.
Bringing a multiboard system together is a chance for the designer to spread their wings. As the circuit spreads, so do the risk of crossed signals. Some of the ways the circuits can...
Even as everything related to electronics shrinks in size, a few small areas that we have been able to ignore so far remain. Along with the physical reduction, we also encounter reductions in our...
56:52Each time a new generation of DDR is released, its’ performance capabilities are almost 2x superior than the previous generation. These technological advancements mean more difficult design requiremen
This past summer, Cadence and Micron teamed up to demo the first IP interface in silicon for a preliminary version of the DDR5-4400 IMC. The chip was fabricated with TSMC’s 7nm...
1:43Learn how powerful analysis workflows make it fast and easy to manage return path issues on your board so you can design right the first time.
The word from the boardroom is that high speed digital design begins to resemble RF work somewhere around the 1 GB/s. Anything that happens a thousand million times per second had better....
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is electromagnetic energy that disrupts the signaling and it's all around us.
Creating a printed circuit board with high-speed design functionality is no small feat. The more complex a PCB design becomes, the higher the chances are of running into high-speed PCB design issues.
The analog world in which we live is constantly being captured in one way or another, and the media is being shared globally. In between the creation and consumption of all of this data
The media darling of the season is the hot new 5G protocol. Of course, a large part of that ecosystem is vaporware or pre-5G demonstrations. We will be riding the 4G (LTE) wave at least for a while. I
Easily identify nets with inconsistencies between the signal and return paths and quickly find the cause in real-ime while you design without waiting for the SI engineer to perform analysis and...
Get help from the PCB design experts at EMA with the tips and tricks you need to achieve highspeed PCB design success.
1:48Managing your signal's return path is crucial to maintaining the signal integrity of your design. If you're not careful, you might cross a split plane or jump reference planes in your design without n
Signal Integrity is a make-or-break chunk of the design effort. Let's say that the last little bit of blue space on the board is right next to the RF receive chain. Let's further assume that at...
According to data from the Boston Consulting Group, the market for connected/autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will grow to 42 billion USD by 2025. It is also expected that by 2020, 10 million...
In my quest to become a world famous PCB designer, (stop laughing!) I've taken to putting my own words on the screen and sharing them here. My job is to enable design wins, period. It's a cruel...
We see it in the news frequently; a battery explodes, car brakes malfunction, electronic systems are hacked, a material inexplicably fails. Field failures are costly and unforgiving, necessitating...
