Power Distribution Network Essentials

This lesson covers the analysis and optimization of power distribution in electronic systems. It provides a comprehensive look at the Power Distribution Network (PDN), explaining each component's role and the challenges they face. The lesson further delves into the importance of Power Integrity in an electronic system, comparing it to a city's electricity distribution network. It then discusses the significance of Signal Integrity and highlights potential problems like noise, signal reflections, weak signal strength, and cross talk. Furthermore, it explores different kinds of leakage currents and their causes in CMOS technology. The lesson concludes with an overview of Ansys's comprehensive 'Power' solution for the entire PDN.
