What you will learn in this course
1
The power distribution network (PDN) - Understanding impedance and capacitors
Without a stable voltage supplied to each and every device on the board, several problems are almost guaranteed to show up (including when you do emissions testing). Other problems will surface in other ways. So how do you design a rock-solid PDN? This is maybe the most important part of this course. We go through how bypass capacitors work. How to select them. What you can expect and not expect from a bypass capacitor. How to test the bypassing is working. And how much bypassing is needed? PDN is a big subject covered by 4 videos.
2
The power distribution network (PDN) - Where to place bypass caps
How and where to place bypass capacitors for predictable performance. Busting some old myths. Understanding why most app notes are wrong about this topic. And getting into the science of effective use of bypass capacitors. This lesson gives you a no-nonsense and practical approach to placing bypassing on a PCB.
3
The power distribution network (PDN) - All the way to the die
Power delivery spans board-level considerations, IC package, and all the way to the die. Understand what matters for the die and what we can do at the board level. Learn why advanced 3D simulation tools may look nice but not really provide better PDN designs.
4
The power distribution network (PDN) - Optimization and verification
No design without verification. Learn how to measure PDN in simple and practical ways to verify the performance meets the circuit requirements. Looking at how the measurements can be done both on an unpowered populated board and after the board is running at max performance.
5
How ground bounce and Vcc bounce can kill the design
This is a very simple thing to check for – but so often overlooked. And can have serious and unexpected effects. We dive into how ground-bounce and Vcc-bounce are fairly easy to predict before doing the design and why you have to do this as one of the very first things for any design using new devices.
6
Defining the noise margin budget and routing rules
Having covered the big noise sources, we can now compile all of that into a robust set of routing rules that will make the layout guaranteed to work. The video shows how to set up a flow where all of this seemingly cumbersome pre-layout work and simulation can actually be done in a fairly fast and efficient way – and be a great process for routinely making advanced electronics work first time.
