Sigrity licenses OptimizePI for a $35,000 annual subscription. That price may seem high for a typical PCB tool, but Fang says the price point is in line with analysis-class PCB tools and that the cost ...

From cost & area perspectives, it’s no longer practical to add a decoupling capacitor next to every power pin of every IC in the design. PI engineers need a way to perform a preliminary decoupling ...

The PCB designer needs to make sure decoupling capacitor distance between the capacitor and the BGA ball is as short as possible, keeping signal distance between points A and B as short as possible.

Fig. 4: Layout of the above circuit. Factors leading to the reduction of PCB trace loop area and inductance: Placing the 1ED44175N01B close to the IGBT gate and emitter. Placing the decoupling ...

As engineers, many of us probably learned bypassing/decoupling by observing what others have done; that is, just put a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor on each IC power connection and be done with it.
