Accelerating SI/PI Signoff: A Shift-Left Approach to PCB Design
By Cadence - 23 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

In high-speed PCB design, late-stage signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) issues can lead to costly redesigns and delays. This white paper explores how in-design analysis helps engineers catch and fix SI/PI challenges early, saving time, reducing risks, and ensuring first-pass success. What You’ll Learn: The Shift-Left Advantage – How early SI/PI analysis minimizes late-s... » read more

Modeling Flux-Quantizing Josephson Junction Circuits
By Keysight - 23 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

We introduce Josephson junction and inductor models in Keysight ADS that feature an auxiliary flux port, and facilitate the expression of flux quantization conditions in simulation of superconducting microwave circuits. We present several examples that illustrate our methodology for constructing flux-quantizing circuits, including dc- and rf-SQUIDs, tunable couplers, and parametric amplifiers u... » read more

Need For Speed Drives Targeted Testing
By Gregory Haley - 23 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

As packaging complexity increases and nodes shrink, defect detection becomes significantly more difficult. Engineers must contend with subtle variations introduced during fabrication and assembly without sacrificing throughput. New material stacks degrade signal-to-noise ratios, which makes metrology more difficult. At the same time, inspection systems face a more nuanced challenge — how t... » read more
