Practical On-die Power Integrity Measurements
Part 8: How to Become an Expert in Power Integrity Testing

How to Become an Expert in Power Integrity Testing Webinar Series
Power Distribution Networks (PDNs) require careful design to ensure excellent power integrity, especially in high-speed designs. This 8-part series walks you through the fundamentals to advanced topics with a large number of live demonstrations.

Practical On-die Power Integrity Measurements
In this session (Part 8), Dr. Eric Bogatin will describe the direct measurement of power rail noise on the chip itself (i.e. on die). One goal of PDN design is to engineer the power delivery network to deliver low noise DC voltages to the power rails on the die. The final test of the power noise is measuring the on-die power rail noise directly. Using a simple technique, we can directly measure the on-die power rail noise for the VCC rails, and if we plan ahead of time, sometimes the Vdd rails. Eric will introduce the method and look at two examples of measuring the on-die power noise and how some of the important design features affect this noise.

Topics to be covered in this webinar:

What is the origin of power rail collapse
Measuring rail collapse on die and on the board
Measuring rail compression
Impact from decoupling capacitor location on rail collapse and compression
Noise on die when the board is the aggressor

Who should attend?Hardware design and validation engineers and signal/power integrity engineers interested involved in designing any aspect of the PDN.

What attendees will learn?The root cause of one type of PDN noise will be revealed and some design techniques to avoid this. Most importantly, you will learn how to measure the noise on the die and how different it is from the board level noise.

Presenter: Dr. Eric Bogatin, Teledyne LeCroy Fellow

What Do I Need and Why – TDR, S-parameters, or Both?

Join Professor Eric Bogatin and Teledyne LeCroy for a practical review of the differences between a TDR and devices that measure S-parameters, such as Teledyne LeCroy's WavePulser 40iX or Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs). The best instrument for your application will depend on several different technical factors, the purpose of your test, and your available budget.

Topics to be covered in this webinar:

What you can measure with a 2-port TDR
What you can measure with a 4-port WavePulser 40iX
What you need to understand for each tool
Your decision tree

Who should attend?This webinar is for all engineers that currently touch measurements from a TDR or VNA or want to learn the incredible value they offer in characterizing interconnects.

What attendees will learn?Attendees will learn what information can be obtained from a TDR and VNA and how to choose the right tool for their application.

EPSI

Essential Principles of SI (EPSI)
The one SI class every engineer should take. Leverage the essential principles to find the root cause of signal integrity problems like reflections on transmission lines, ground bounce and cross talk and fix them at their source.

AGCD

Advanced Gigabit Channel Design (AGCD)
Open your eyes by optimizing interconnect design and eliminate the pathological problems that will fail systems operating from 1 Gbps to 40 Gbps. Reduce losses, design transparent vias, eliminate mode conversion and tame cross talk.

SPSI

S-Parameters for SI (SPSI)
Unlock the wealth of information locked inside S-parameter measurements or simulations. Master the analysis of S-parameters and never be intimidated by them again.

High Speed Digital Design (HSDD)
These are the lectures from the graduate level signal Integrity class Dr. Eric Bogatin teaches at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Lab exercises included!
