Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

Mentor White Paper--Concepts of Power Integrity: Controlling Impedance Across a Bare Cavity
August 27, 2018 | Fadi Deek, Mentor, a Siemens BusinessEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The power distribution network (PDN) is the path from the power supply source (VRM) to the ICs (active devices). At low impedance, the PDN delivers adequate current to the receiver, enabling the PCB to function as desired.
Without a low-impedance path across the PDN, noise can propagate throughout a PCB, causing bit errors, voltage ripples, timing violations, and more. This white paper by Fadi Deek of Mentor, a Siemens Business, examines how impedance can be controlled in the PDN cavity.
