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.

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?
