Overview
The Definitive Guide to Power Integrity Simulation with ADS
Power Integrity Using ADS represents the first comprehensive textbook specifically addressing power distribution network (PDN) simulation within Keysight's industry-leading Advanced Design System environment. This authoritative guide bridges the gap between theoretical power integrity concepts and practical implementation through proven simulation methodologies.
Authored by internationally recognised power integrity expert Steven M. Sandler, this essential reference incorporates over 40 years of power systems engineering experience. The book demonstrates how ADS's unique Harmonic Balance simulator delivers ultra-fast time domain and spectral analysis of switching power supply waveforms whilst avoiding the lengthy simulation times typically associated with transient analysis.
Comprehensive Coverage for Professional Engineers
The text systematically covers end-to-end PDN simulation including measurement-based VRM modelling, capacitor and inductor characterisation, and decoupling optimisation strategies. Each chapter includes downloadable ADS workspaces enabling hands-on validation of theoretical concepts. Engineers learn to implement flat impedance design methodologies that ensure stable power delivery for high-speed digital systems operating at increasingly demanding performance levels.
Unlike general power integrity texts, this book specifically addresses the challenges of modern wide-bandgap devices including gallium nitride (GaN) components that switch at gigahertz frequencies. The measurement-based modelling approach ensures high-fidelity simulations that accurately predict real-world PDN performance, enabling engineers to optimise designs before prototype fabrication.
