Key Takeaways

• Increase in cyber-physical systems design complexity: The information revolution has led to multifunctional PCB assemblies with smaller footprints, escalating circuit, package, and system design complexity. Increasing IC speeds, data rates, and denser configurations compound power integrity (PI), signal integrity (SI), and electromagnetic related (EMI/EMC) issues.
• Multiphysics Simulation Challenges: Electromagnetic (EM) simulations, crucial for tackling design challenges, are resource-intensive and are often segmented into smaller portions of the overall design to perform analyses, adding risk to design cycles. The addition of connectors further compounds EM high-frequency effects, necessitating careful analysis. As such, traditionally, EM...
