iCD Offers Affordable PCB Simulation and Analysis Service
October 29, 2019 | ICDEstimated reading time: 1 minute
For a limited time, iCD is cutting the cost of a comprehensive post-layout PCB analysis by 50%*. This includes signal and power integrity simulation. Barry Olney, a Design007 Magazine columnist, will personally analyze your high-speed PCB design and provide direct feedback and guidance on how to best deal with any issues that may be found.
So, if you are unsure of your next complex digital PCB design–get some help from an expert designer. This takes the pressure off you, improves your skills and your boss will be happy as the design will be completed on schedule and will perform reliably saving costly iterations.
The iCD post-layout analysis includes:
- Review of schematics to ensure correct creation of design and technology constraints.
- Analysis of the PCB substrate to ensure:
a) Impedance of single ended and differential signals meet the requirements of the technologies employed.
b) That there are clear return paths and reference planes are appropriately assigned.
c) Materials are selected to minimize cost, provide adequate performance and are stocked by the client's preferred fab shop.
- Analysis of the power distribution network to ensure minimum AC impedance is attained up to the maximum required frequency.
- Advice on the placement and routing of power planes and pours.
- Advice on critical placement and best routing strategies for the technology employed.
- Assessment of high-speed signal terminations, matched delay/lengths and impedance matching.
- Simulation of high-speed critical signals to ensure timing requirements are met.
- Batch mode simulation and interactive analysis of crosstalk.
- High-speed DRC analysis–scan for violations of signal integrity, power integrity and EMI rules.
- Estimate of electromagnetic radiation to ensure the product meets FCC/CISPR Class B requirements.
- Ensure the board is manufactureable and meets IPC standards.
- A comprehensive simulation report will be provided to the client upon completion of the project.
Please contact Barry Olney for further information and to book a time slot–opportunities are limited.
“I check all the boxes to ensure your project’s success.” --Barry Olney

Mastering PCB Floor Planning
08/28/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPlacement of PCB components is far more than just fitting components onto a board. It’s a strategic and critical foundational step, often called “floor planning,” that profoundly impacts the board’s performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Floor planning ties into the solvability perspective, with performance and manufacturability being the other two competing perspectives for addressing and achieving success in PCB design.
Elementary Mr. Watson: Routing Hunger Games—May the Traces Be Ever in Your Favor
08/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI’d like to share a harsh truth, and I say this as a friend: PCB designers are often their own worst enemy. It’s rarely the complexity of the circuit, the last-minute changes from mechanical, the limited enclosure space, or the ever-expanding list of design rules that send projects to the dust heap of failed boards. More often, it's our own decisions, made too quickly and narrowly, and with too little foresight, that sabotage an otherwise good design.
Target Condition: Floor Planning Without a Floor
08/27/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionBy a show of hands, how many PCB designers have been asked to start a layout without a board outline, keep-out zones, or even height constraints? How many have had to work within a specific enclosure before the schematic was finalized? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Starting a PCB layout without critical constraints is like hiring an interior designer to buy furniture and carpet for a house you haven’t even purchased yet, or, even worse, trying to fit four bedrooms' worth of furniture in a one-room cabin.
I-Connect007 Editor's Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
08/22/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007In this week’s roundup, we have a variety of articles covering design, manufacturing, sustainability, and, of course, tariff negotiations. We have a milestone anniversary to celebrate as well, with Dan Beaulieu about to publish his 1,000th column. When does Dan even sleep? Here’s to hoping that we have 1,000 more weeks of "It’s Only Common Sense."
