High-Speed Systems Pose Many Power Design Challenges

Focus:

For many designers, there are growing challenges in the design of power supplies for high-speed circuits. I recently spoke with Steve Sandler about the issues power designers need to consider when powering RF and high-speed digital circuits. As a chief engineer with AEi Systems, Sandler has developed extensive expertise in the design and analysis of both power and RF systems. Sandler is also the managing director of Picotest, a company specializing in precision test equipment, and as such he raises many issues that concern test and measurement of both power and RF systems. In this article, we discuss Sandler’s list of the top 10 considerations for power designers working with RF or high-speed digital applications. (See pages 44-46 of the source PDF.)
