Power Integrity by Example eBook Available for Download
February 19, 2018 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Released in November, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Power Integrity by Example micro eBook has been downloaded by hundreds of engineers and other readers interested in PCB design.
This book is part of I-Connect007’s ongoing series, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to…, which is specifically dedicated to educating PCB designers, and serves as a valuable resource for people seeking the most relevant design information available. Written by Fadi Deek of Mentor, A Siemens Business, Power Integrity by Example complements Deek’s first design title, Signal Integrity by Example.
The power integrity book 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. Readers will gain a better understanding of cause-effect relationships between varying factors and how to consider these when making design decisions.
Gene Garat, president of MossEDA, describes the book as having, “Just the right amount of technical content. It covers the basics of power integrity analysis in fewer than 40 pages. Engineers new to the field, as well as career veterans, can all benefit from this quick, well-illustrated read with plenty of examples.”
Download your free copy today! You can also view other titles in our full library.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.

Showing Some Constraint: Design007 Magazine July 2025
07/10/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamA robust design constraint strategy balances dozens of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we focus on design constraints—the requirements, challenges, and best practices for setting up the right constraint strategy.
The Shaughnessy Report: Showing Some Constraint
07/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportWhen we first decided to cover strategies for setting PCB design constraints, one designer we spoke with said, “They’re not really constraints; they’re more like guardrails that prevent your design from going off a cliff.”
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Rein in Your Design Constraints
07/10/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI remember the long hours spent at the light table, carefully laying down black tape to shape each trace, cutting and aligning pads with surgical precision on sheets of Mylar. I often went home with nicks on my fingers from the X-Acto knives and bits of tape all over me. It was as much an art form as it was an engineering task—tactile and methodical, requiring the patience of a sculptor. A lot has changed in PCB design over the years.
