HDI for signal integrity and power integrity

HDI design and fabrication can have many challenges, but improving signal integrity and power integrity is one of its advantages. This webinar will disclose some of the many benefits that HDI has in improving SI/PI performance.

What you’ll learn:

• Introduction to the challenges: Growing use of chiplets and heterogeneous integration for complex advanced packaging modules as components
• From Dr. Eric Bogatin: Sources of noise in circuit design
• Through-hole technology signal integrity problems
• PDN design for high frequency
• PDN PWR/GND distributed capacitance
• Example: 16-layer through-hole board redesigned to 12-layer HDI board

Reference and reading: The HDI Handbook Chapter 4 written by Dr. Eric Bogatin (free download on I-connect007)

Tool: PDN Analyzer

Who should watch this webinar:

PCB designers, purchasing, hardware engineers and project/program managers
