iCD PDN Planner

Analyze multiple power supplies to maintain low impedance over the entire
frequency range dramatically improving product performance and reliability

The iCD PDN Planner builds on the familiar ease of use of the popular iCD Stackup Planner software that

has been used by over 15,000 PCB Designers and Engineers globally since 1996.
The iCD PDN Planner has the ability to analyze an unlimited number of power supply configurations. A
typical high speed multilayer PCB has ten or more individual power supplies that all serve a different
purpose and must be regulated to maintain power integrity during high current switching up to the
maximum frequency

Features

• Fast AC impedance analysis with plane resonance
• Definition of planes, dielectric constant and plane separation for each on-board power supply
• Extraction of plane data from the integrated Stackup Planner
Definition of voltage regulator, bypass/decoupling capacitors, mounting loop inductance
• PDN EMI Plot with FCC, CISPR & VCCI Limits. Frequency range up to 100GHz
• Extensive Capacitor Library- over 5,650 capacitors derived from SPICE models
• S-Parameter import of capacitor models directly from manufacturers
