Signal Integrity and Power Integrity

The process of designing Power Delivery Networks (PDNs) for the systems having very high dynamic current requirements is always very challenging, as during their design process the SI/PI engineers have to address many other significant issues apart from the basic issues of designing the PDN. One such challenge is to assess the quality of power in the system by accurate simulations of the PDNs in a time-efficient manner. In the current-generation high-speed systems, there are multicore processors which use multiple PDNs, and therefore the complexity of simulations becomes a bottleneck in the design process. Efficient simulation techniques are helpful to address such issues and can significantly help to fasten the overall design process of the PDNs.
