When designing printed circuit boards (PCBs), keep in mind the major causes of electronic failure: thermal cycling, vibration, and mechanical shock and drop. You can perform a variety of physical ...

Before testing for potential reliability issues that could crop up with your next board design, familiarize yourself with the physical HALT and virtual-simulation processes. Highly Accelerated ...

Many electronic products today must operate under significant environmental stress for countless hours. Printed circuit board (PCB) designers now realise the importance of capturing the physical ...

S parameters play a dominant role in high speed PCB simulation and verification. Generation of S parameters is relatively easy at high frequency in comparison to other parameters like Y and Z. In this ...

Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation ...
