The power distribution network (PDN) is a system that transfers low noise and stable power to the loads (e.g., ICs) on a PCB. It also provides a low impedance return path for signals’ current flow.

In this product-how to, ANSYS’ Steve Pytel explains how to use the ANSYS SIwave-DC simulation tool to predict DC power loss and voltage drop for a PCB. As supply voltages continue to decrease and ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...

Engineers are under constant pressure to improve the performance of their products while reducing product cost. The key to doing so is a better understanding of the power distribution network (PDN) ...

A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

Technology scaling has brought with it a myriad of causes for power delivery network (PDN) failure. Even a few years ago, it was simply enough to run static and dynamic power analysis to expose any ...

A printed circuit board turns separate parts into a stable system that powers up, talks to peripherals, and survives real world stress. The printed circuit board distributes power, guides signals with ...
