Capacitor Optimization in Power Distribution Networks Using Numerical Computation Techniques
Jordan R. Keuseman, Chad M. Smutzer, Clifton R Haider +1
This paper presents a power distribution network (PDN) decoupling capacitor optimization application with three primary goals: reduction of solution times for large networks, devel…
Plated-Through-Hole Via Design Specifications for 112G Serial Links
Michael J. Degerstrom, Chad M. Smutzer, Richard B. Ericson +2
An earlier study of a high layer-count test board using plated-through-hole (PTH) vias and a limited quantity of laser vias was shown to be capable of supporting 112 Gb/s PAM-4 lin…
Inverting the SerDes Link Design Flow Process
Michael J. Degerstrom, Chad M. Smutzer, Patrick J. Zabinski +1
The traditional SerDes link simulation process begins with the extraction of printed circuit board (PCB) physical stripline and via models, followed by channel modeling and link si…
56 Gbps PCB Design Strategies for Clean, Low-Skew Channels
Michael J. Degerstrom, Chad M. Smutzer, Barry K. Gilbert +1
Although next generation (>28 Gbps) SerDes standards have been contemplated for several years, it has not been clear whether PCB structures supporting 56 Gbps NRZ will be feasible…
