Audience Level: All

Join some of DesignCon's top speakers and industry experts for a lively and controversial panel discussion on passive component models for power integrity simulations. Learn why not everyone agrees on how to measure them, how to model them, and how they should be used in the simulators.

Topics for Discussion:
• Are vendor models always wrong?
• Where is the standard for measuring and modeling passive components?
• Power delivery is not DC! EM simulators are the only way to get it right. Right?
• Avoid decade caps and free SPICE when designing power delivery with GaN?
• Do Ferrite Beads belong in Power Integrity?

Takeaway

Models should always be verified; acceptable measurement practices for low impedance components; importance of EM models for PCB parasitics; why leveraging ferrite beads and decade caps from older designs may no longer work.

Intended Audience

No prerequisites required, but recommend some familiarity with power integrity, R-L-C and s-parameter component models.
