Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026
I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, covering everything from the show floor to the technical conference. For PCB designers, we move past the dreaded auto-router and spotlight AI design tools that actually matter.

Mentor Webinar Sept. 8: Post-Route Verification of Multi-Gigabit Channels
August 26, 2020 | Mentor, a Siemens businessEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Performing post-layout verification of multi-gigabit SerDes channels is a challenging but necessary task, because even the most detailed pre-layout simulation studies and routing guidelines can’t anticipate everything. Designs that meet detailed routing requirements can still fail due to discontinuities and resonances that couldn’t have been anticipated.
The large numbers of channels in modern designs makes post-route verification difficult; each channel must be modeled and analyzed individually, which requires an automated, efficient process to be successful. Once modeled, each channel must be analyzed for compliance with protocol requirements in the same automated fashion. This September 8 webinar presented by Mentor, a Siemens business, will discuss requirements for effective SerDes channel post-route verification and show how they can be achieved.
- Different types of SerDes compliance analysis
- Compliance analysis using Channel Operating Margin (COM)
- Differences between COM analysis and IBIS-AMI simulation
- Different forms of Tx/Rx equalization and when they are effective
- How to identify areas of a SerDes channel that require 3D EM modeling
- How to isolate individual physical effects and determine their effect on system margin
- How to perform post-layout “what if” analysis for SerDes channels
- How to determine the impact of crosstalk on SerDes channel margins
Presenters are Min Maung, senior technical marketing engineer for HyperLynx software, and Todd Westerhoff, high-speed marketing manager.
