I-Connect007 Launches The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Power Integrity by Example Micro eBook
November 15, 2017 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
I-Connect007 is excited to announce the release of the latest title in our micro eBook series: The Printed Designer's Guide to... Power Integrity by Example.
The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… is an ongoing series of micro eBooks specifically dedicated to the education of PCB designers. This book series has become the gold standard for people seeking the most relevant design information available.
The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Power Integrity by Example is authored by Fadi Deek of Mentor, A Siemens Business. This title is a follow-up to Deek’s previous book on signal integrity, which is also available for download in our library.
This new book on power integrity provides a thorough investigation of power distribution network performance. Deek addresses problematic issues within electronic transmissions, and presents a variety of simulations and analyses in every chapter.
“An important message from this book is to know your parallel resonances because that will be where most of your noise comes from. You can also use the principles laid out in this book to help you avoid catastrophe in your next design,” says Dr. Eric Bogatin, dean of the Teledyne LeCroy Signal Integrity Academy.
Readers will better understand cause-effect relationships between varying factors, and how to consider these when making design decisions.

DownStream Acquisition Fits Siemens’ ‘Left-Shift’ Model
06/26/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I recently spoke to DownStream Technologies founder Joe Clark about the company’s acquisition by Siemens. We were later joined by A.J. Incorvaia, Siemens’ senior VP of electronic board systems. Joe discussed how he, Rick Almeida, and Ken Tepper launched the company in the months after 9/11 and how the acquisition came about. A.J. provides some background on the acquisition and explains why the companies’ tools are complementary.
Elementary Mr. Watson: Retro Routers vs. Modern Boards—The Silent Struggle on Your Screen
06/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonThere's a story about a young woman preparing a holiday ham. Before putting it in the pan, she cuts off the ends. When asked why, she shrugs and says, "That's how my mom always did it." She asks her mother, who gives the same answer. Eventually, the question reaches Grandma, who laughs and says, "Oh, I only cut the ends off because my pan was too small." This story is a powerful analogy for how many PCB designers approach routing today.

Cadence AI Autorouter May Transform the Landscape
06/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazinePatrick Davis, product management director with Cadence Design Systems, discusses advancements in autorouting technology, including AI. He emphasizes a holistic approach that enhances placement and power distribution before routing. He points out that younger engineers seem more likely to embrace autorouting, while the veteran designers are still wary of giving up too much control. Will AI help autorouters finally gain industry-wide acceptance?
Beyond Design: The Metamorphosis of the PCB Router
06/18/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignThe traditional PCB design process is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Routing a complex PCB layout can consume up to 30% of a designer’s time, and addressing this issue is not straightforward. We have all encountered this scenario: You spend hours setting the constraints and finally hit the Go button, only to be surprised by the lack of visual appeal and the obvious flaws in the result.
