Power integrity engineering: Taking an Elevated Role in the Design Process

摘要

As servers, routers and switching equipment shrink, managing the demand for more power in smaller packages is becoming an even bigger challenge for OEMs. Unlike signal connectors, which continue to get smaller at higher transmission speeds, power connectors inquire a specific amount of conductive material to carry specific amounts of current or amperage. While progress is being made in perfecting low resistance interfaces as power needs increase so does the amount of space needed for higher power interconnects. Power Integrity engineering can help solve these challenges. With broad experience in power integrity engineering, connector manufacturers are well qualified to solve many of the problems common to these complex designs, including system safety, reliability and air flow.
