Power distribution networks are the silent backbone of today’s high-performance designs. As voltages shrink and switching speeds rise, even small variations in power delivery can lead to instability, jitter, or outright system failure. But making accurate power integrity measurements isn’t always straightforward — engineers face challenges such as probe loading, noise floor limitations, and capturing fast transient events.
This 60-minute webinar will explore essential building blocks of power integrity testing with three practical demonstrations attendees can replicate in their own labs:
- Measure PDN impedance and identify resonances that can destabilize the design
- Characterize ripple and noise while avoiding common probing pitfalls
- Capture transient response to reveal how a system behaves under dynamic load conditions
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the measurement setups, techniques, and considerations needed to confidently validate their power rails — and the insight to connect power integrity directly to system performance. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
