Consulting Services and Prices
 
All consulting services are performed by Dr. Cosmin Iorga, who brings 20+ years of experience in circuit design and troubleshooting at chip, board, and system levels.  Dr. Iorga analyzes the problems thoroughly down to the semiconductor and electromagnetic physics phenomena and develops clever solutions to complex and challenging problems.

Coverage:

  • Noise Coupling
  • Power Integrity
  • Signal Integrity

 

Technologies:

  • Chip: CMOS, BiCMOS, GaAs, InP, Bipolar, Lightly and heavily doped substrates, SOI, SoC
  • Package: SIP, MCM, BGA, Flip-Chip, Lead-Frame, Stacked Dies, and any novel technology 

 

For New Products:

  • Modeling and simulation of noise coupling and power integrity in the whole chip-package-PCB co-design (post-layout, pre-layout, and architectural exploration)
  • Implementation of efficient suppression techniques that address the noise coupling mechanisms in your specific chip-package-PCB co-design
  • Independent design review in architectural stage of the design, pre-layout, and post-layout
  • Identify noise coupling and signal integrity problems, ground loops, electric and magnetic shields, system level voltage and current reference distribution, power and ground distribution architecture, mixed-signal interference, signal crosstalk, and noise filtering
  • Implement noise coupling measurement structures

 

For Existing Products:

  • Noise coupling and power integrity failure analysis, troubleshooting, and problem solving
  • Signal integrity troubleshooting and problem solving: chip, package, PCB, wires, and interconnects
  • Identify the sources of various types of timing jitter on waveforms and develop solutions
  • Develop solutions for improving waveform degradation: overshoot, undershoot, multiple reflections, inter-symbol interference
  • Troubleshoot ground loops and shielding problems
  • Modeling of functionality and performance issues, correlation with measurements, and solutions validation on the correlated models
