As the use of microcontrollers, CPUs and FPGAs continues to grow, more engineers are facing challenges with their power distribution network (PDN) design. Many engineers are just starting to perform ...

Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) is a technique that measures and displays the impedance of a network (cable, filter, and so on) over time. Traditionally, this is done with a device that generates very ...

Evaluating the stability of a Point-Of-Load (“POL”) regulator can be performed using both traditional Bode plot and output impedance measurement techniques. Measuring output impedance has an advantage ...

One-Sided Measurement of Power Supply Impedance Without Connectors presents an approach for measurement of PDN impedances in PCBs that uses small contact pads on one side of the PCB, which are ...
