Power Integrity: Is Power Integrity the New Black Magic?

Power integrity (PI) is a relatively new discipline, emerging after electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI), and is quickly becoming the key challenge for system, circuit, board, package, and silicon designers. Some industry experts say that as SI has matured, PI has now become the new black magic. This talk by Istvan Novak, principal signal and power integrity engineer at Samtec, will examine the reasons why PI is so difficult and will analyze past predictions and current challenges. The safety and reliability concerns brought on by the proliferation of power electronic circuits in all walks of life will be discussed, from tiny energy-harvesting circuits, through consumer electronics products, to high-power electronics in autonomous vehicles.
