Reliable Control of Impedance and Coupling

As the speeds in your designs increase, so does the risk of unforeseen signal integrity issues. Uncertainty regarding impedance and coupling can lead to unstable PCBs that fail to meet standards, resulting in costly redesigns and delayed schedules. As a designer, you need to know for certain that your layout works before it is sent to production.

In this webinar, we take a practical approach and show you how to use the analysis tools in OrCAD PCB Designer Professional to verify your layout. The goal isn't to make the process more complex, but to remove uncertainty by providing direct insight into your signals' behavior. By simulating as you go, you can correct errors immediately and ensure your design is robust and manufacturable on the first attempt.

What we will cover

• Gain an overview of impedances: We show you how to analyze your traces to ensure they meet your specifications along their entire length.
  
• Manage coupling (noise): Learn how to spot unintended coupling between signals to avoid noise issues in the final product.
  
• Make real-time changes: See how to adjust your design and receive immediate visual feedback on how it affects the analysis results.
  
• Document your layout: We review how simulation results give you confidence that your design choices are logical and well-founded.
  
• Ensure stable production: By checking these factors early, you reduce the risk of things not going as planned during the testing phase.

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is particularly relevant for those working with complex or high-speed signals who want to minimize the risk of PCB errors. It is for the pragmatic designer who needs concrete methods to ensure layout quality without the guesswork. You are looking for a proven solution that gives you control over the technical details.

Practicalities

In this webinar, our specialist, Søren, will demonstrate how the tools are used in practice on a real design. To use the analysis features shown, a license for OrCAD PCB Designer Professional is required.
