Where High Speed Meets High Frequency
Presented at AltiumLive 2022 CONNECT (Jan 28, 2022) – Watch On-Demand
As many design teams may have experienced, high speed designs are confronted with many of the signaling and layout challenges seen in high frequency designs. High speed interconnect design should take a similar approach seen in high frequency design with respect to losses, impedance determination, and analysis. In this technical session, I’ll explore some of the correspondences between high speed PCB design and analysis as they relate to the fundamental concepts in high frequency design. Topics like interconnect design, measurement, and analysis will be examined while comparing the design approaches in high speed and high frequency PCB layout and routing. The goal is to help high speed design teams become more familiar with the conceptual explanations for why very high speed signal integrity problems occur and how they can be overcome with some smart design and layout decisions.
