Mentor, a Siemens business, has announced an upcoming workshop on "Virtual Prototype with HyperLynx" on January 18, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. IST, Bangalore India.

Do you want to create competitive advantage across your enterprise? Attend this 1-day HyperLynx free workshop to understand how.

Ask any signal integrity expert, what keeps you awake at night? Most will agree that it’s the question of being 100% certain that their design will work in real life.

With the increased complexity and high-speed performance of today's integrated circuits (ICs), a growing number of PCBs suffer from signal degradation and timing problems which are exacerbated by power delivery issues; this impacts board performance and possibly total failed logic, requiring costly redesign.

HyperLynx offers a complete suite of design analysis and verification software that meets the needs of PCB engineers at any point in the board design flow, addresses high-speed systems design problems throughout the design flow— starting at the earliest architectural stages through post-layout verification. Easy to use and integrate into your flow, HyperLynx equips hardware design engineers and PCB designers to efficiently analyze, identify, resolve, and verify critical design issues, which prevents costly re-spins, reduces design cycle times, and improves product reliability. Achieve greater innovation, faster time-to-market, and decreased costs with HyperLynx.

It’s been just two months since the AltiumLive event drew several hundred designers to San Diego, California, and Altium is already gearing up for the next show in Munich, Germany (January 15–17, 2019). I recently spoke with Chris Donato, VP of global sales for Altium, about the upcoming AltiumLive show as well as the company’s growth over the past few years.

The component shortage is getting crazy. Some PCB designers are finding their favorite capacitors on 50-week and 80-week lead times, or worse. How do you design a board today when the components you need won’t be available for a year or more? In the January 2019 issue of Design007 Magazine, we asked our expert contributors to explain the current component shortage, as well as some of the workarounds that can help you get your next design out the door sooner rather than later.

Veteran PCB technologists Jim Howard and Greg Lucas have made an interesting discovery: Certain shapes of copper planes make a PCB run more efficiently than other shapes, a process they dubbed fractal design. It doesn’t appear to cost a penny more, and testing suggests that fractal design techniques could eliminate edge noise. Barry Matties and Andy Shaughnessy asked Jim and Greg to discuss the fractal design process, and the advantages of using this technique.
