Signal & Power Integrity
Maximize your performance-to-cost ratio to achieve first-pass success
Our signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) teams have the skills to maximize the performance-to-cost ratio of your high-speed projects.
We advise on optimal topologies for emerging memory technologies, interconnects within complex computing platforms, Interlaken systems, FPGA transceivers, and complex layer stacks using next-generation laminates with buried capacitance to support the latest FPGAs and ASICs.
Why Signal Integrity?
Example projects we’ve worked on include:
- Designing to meet target impedance or noise levels
- Optimizing PCB stackup for power distribution
- Reducing crosstalk
- S-parameter and eye diagram simulation
- Analysis of power, grounding, decoupling and filtering
