How to Account for Thermal Effects in Your Design |
 Learn how Wolfspeed used an ADS MMIC process design kit (PDK) configured to work with the ADS electrothermal simulator to co-simulate electrical and thermal performance. This allowed designers to quickly understand the impact of thermal effects on their circuit designs, and account for those effects during their design process.

PCIe Gen3 Serial Channel with IBIS-AMI Signal Integrity Analysis and Compliance Test |
 This DesignCon paper presents the signal integrity analysis and Compliance testing of complete PCIe Gen3 channel with IBIS-AMI model. Gigahertz serialization and deserialization (SERDES) has become a leading inter-chip and inter-board data transmission technique in high-end computing devices. The IBIS-AMI model is used for circuit simulation of high-speed serial interfaces.

Introducing Tim’s Blackboard: The Melting Trace Paradox |
|
If you find the equations for power on a trace and the required energy to change the trace temperature, you will find that the temperature increases with time. As the temperature reaches the melting temperature of copper, the trace melts. There is clearly a paradox here. We know the trace does not come with a warning label that says “don’t leave current on for too long, trace will melt.” How come our prediction is not consistent with our expectation? Visit Tim's Blackboard and find out now. |

Modern Design Methodologies for Wide-Bandgap Power Electronics: Predictive simulation techniques to save time and money |
|
With the introduction of new gallium nitride (GaN) power switches into the market, designers have more device options open to them for creating efficient and dense power management systems. This market pull is driving many companies and designers to prototype systems with these switches. This IEEE article presents a design methodology that can help ensure success with less design spins.
