As part of a series of real life simulations on a very simple part of a circuit I try to figure out just how useful Altium’s built-in signal integrity tool really is. The price is right, but is it up to the job?

Altium for SI – Any Good? Part II
In part I of this series of comparisons I started my quest to figure out if Altium is any good for SI analysis. It’s clearly one of the cheapest tools out there that allows you to do IBIS model based simulations. Forgetting the price, can it get the job done?
Altium for SI – Any good?
Is Altium any good for signal integrity simulations? A question I get asked a lot. The price is right – you basically get the SI simulator for free as part of the schematic/layout/mechanical etc. package.

How do you do validate bypass capacitor selection and effectiveness on the mounted PC board?
Lee Ritchey in Oslo, June 7-9th, 2011
Signal integrity, and why you should care.
Most modern electronics operates with digital signal switching times measured in the 100-300 ps range. At that rate the switching causes reflections on any trace longer than a few cm. The frequency content of the signals run into the GHz range. Parallel traces of just a few cm can easily cause crosstalk that exceeds the acceptable level. (mere…)
Free transmission line loss calculator
AWR have one of the nicer free transmission line calculators I have seen in a long time. Highly recommended. (mere…)
Download Lee Ritchey “Right the First Time”
Vi har Lee Ritchey i Oslo den 7-9 juni i år. Der er nedsat pris på tilmeldingen i denne måned, så det skal du selvfølgelig udnytte: www.axcon.dk/lee
Den store nyhed er dog at vi har fået lov at lægge Lee’s første bog til gratis download på vores webside
Du skal ind på den samme side, og finde en box ude i højre side. Så kan du selv få en pdf version af bogen på din computer (eller ebogslæser måske?). (mere…)
Lee Ritchey kommer til Oslo til sommer
Det norske tidskrift Elektronikk omtalte det som de første allerede i December i forbindelse med en længere artikel om Lee Ritchey:
Lee Ritchey om SI og board design
Vi havde Lee Ritchey i Norden for 5. gang i november, hvor vi holdt 3 dages kursus i Stockholm for over 50 ingeniører fra hele Europa. Det var som sædvanlig et unikt kursus,som høstede rigtig meget ros fra deltagerne.
Lee Ritchey – Now Free
Lee Ritchey is one of the industry legends on high speed design. I worked with Lee back 10 years ago at 3Com in Silicon Valley and have since had the pleasure of arranging a number of 3-day signal integrity courses with Lee in Denmark and Sweden.
