What this event is about:
Join us to explore the latest innovations in Signal Integrity and Power Integrity in ADS 2023 (Update 1 & Update 2). We’ll first double-click into pathfinding for next-gen memory, and see how parallel simulations speed up circuit design.  Next, you’ll see how PAM-3 is used in USB4 v2, how to ensure you are generating causal S-parameter models from your EM simulator, and how to simulate cascaded voltage regulators as a system.    
 
9:10 a.m. Registration
9:30 a.m.
Memory: Advances in Memory System Design Workflow
  • What's new in Memory Designer in the latest releases
  • Advanced memory interface for pathfinding
  • Latest simulation examples and demos
10:30 a.m.
Simulate with Confidence: Your Next Gen SerDes Design!
We will be discussing some of the latest SerDes standards that enable hyperscale computing. 
  • PCIe 6 & 5
  • CXL 2
  • USB4V2 (and USB4 Gen2 & 3)
11:30 a.m. Lunch
12:30 p.m.
EM Modeling: Successful Extraction of High-Speed PCB Designs in Less Time
  • How SIPro can help you successfully simulate your High-Speed PCB Designs
  • Discussion on port setup, meshing and causality of extracted EM models
  • Simulation workflow (Python script based) automation examples demonstrating increased productivity
1:30 p.m.
Expanding Power Integrity Simulations to Include Cascaded VRMs
  • An iterative EM approach determines the average DC behavior, when dynamic regulators are cascaded in series.
  • Steady-state behavior for an AC EM PCB model with cascaded dynamic switching regulators is solved using Harmonic Balance.
  • Advanced conducted EMI simulations of cascaded VRM's help to analyze separate power rail noise vs. ground rail noise.
2:30 p.m.
