Understanding modern power delivery through inductance

Modern processors have more local energy storage than ever, yet maintaining a stable power delivery network is becoming increasingly difficult. This presentation examines the physical behavior behind that contradiction and explores how energy is delivered across the PDN, revealing why some of today’s most familiar design assumptions are beginning to reach their limits.

Power Integrity using LTpowerCAD

Discover how LTpowerCAD helps engineers rapidly design, optimize, and validate DC/DC converters. This practical session demonstrates how to select the right topology, analyse efficiency and loop stability, and seamlessly transition to LTspice for deeper verification. Ideal for SI/PI engineers seeking faster design iterations, improved robustness, and reduced development risk.

Building High-Reliability & High-Speed PCB Designs

An overview of the key considerations for delivering successful PCB designs throughout a long product lifecycle.

Exploring the transition from a one-off prototype to robust serial production, and how factors such as manufacturing variation, operating environment, supply chain, and long-term reliability influence design decisions.

Signal Quality Requirements and Best Practices for Nano, Cryogenic, and Quantum Applications

When dealing with nanoscale, cryogenic or quantum devices,  additional approaches are essential to obtain good signal quality.

After an introduction, the specific signal chain needs for this field are explained. Examples of "good practices" are shown.  

3D Connector Investigation @ 1.6Tbps

The presentation will walk attendees through the process of extracting a simple model from physical connectors to be modelled in Keysight ADS. We will show the challenges at 1.6Tbps and the solutions that have led to our successful projects.
