84 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I SEPTEMBER 2022
In a new CadenceTECHTALK webinar, "How Static
and Dynamic IR Drop Analysis Can Help PCB
Designs and Challenges," product manager Melika
Roshandell and SerDes SI/PI engineer Karthik
Mahesh Rao explain how the EE and ME can both
use the Celsius Thermal Solver to achieve their
disparate objectives.
Todd Westerhoff, product marketing manager
for signal integrity software, talks about a new
capability called HyperLynx Apps that offers a
new take on traditional signal and power integrity
analysis, and how that fits in with the Siemens
plan to put SI and PI tools into the hands of more
designers early in the design cycle.
If the United States
is ever going to
regain some of its
historically large
PCB fab market
share, design and
fabrication know-
how must play a
significant role. "Fabricators are an important part
of the design with manufacturing practice," says
Scott McCurdy, president of the Orange County
chapter of the Printed Circuit Engineering Associa-
tion (PCEA), which recently had its first live event in
more than two years.
I-Connect007
columnist John
Watson is teach-
ing an introduc-
tory class on
PCB design at
Palomar College
this fall. It's an
online class, so

to live in San Diego to attend. In this
interview, John talks about the gen-
esis for the class and its benefits.
