Course Description

Sigrity™ PowerDC™ and OptimizePI™ provides a coherent methodology for the analysis of power delivery networks in high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs). Power-delivery network design includes voltage regulator modules, decoupling capacitors, and power/ground planes. In this course, you use the Sigrity Power Integrity Suite software to analyze a stable power distribution system to support high-speed circuit operation.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Set up a board database for analysis
• Perform static IR drop analysis
• Perform an electrical and thermal co-simulation
• Graph the impedance of the power distribution network across a complete frequency bandwidth
• Assign capacitor models to an existing printed circuit board
• Create and edit capacitor models
• Optimize capacitor selection for performance and cost
