Signal Integrity | Impedence Modeling | AI in EDA Tools | Expert - Bert Simonowich

Bert Simonovich shares insights related to hidden factors he's discovered in regard to inaccurate impedance models. He's discovered hidden effects that are a result of anisotropic effects in copper-clad laminates, that can result in signal integrity problems. Bert will be giving two upcoming presentations including EDI COM which takes place next week. He will be giving a deeper and more expanded version of this topic in January at DesignCon 2024.
