We’re sad to report late-breaking news that independent engineering consultant Steve Weir has died. No details are available at this time.
Steve was a power and signal integrity guru with a variety of patents to his name. A fixture of DesignCon and a constant presence on the SI-List signal integrity forum, Steve wrote over a dozen papers on power integrity.
He also had a crazy, irreverent sense of humor that you don’t find among most engineers. I first met Steve about 10 years ago at DesignCon. He introduced me to a few other EEs, with caveats such as, “John’s an SI engineer, but more importantly, the statute of limitations has run out on his unprosecuted felonies. And don’t let him near your wife. Or your son, for that matter.”
It was like that with Steve. He didn’t seem to have a pause button. The world needs more people like that.
He will be missed.

At DesignCon 2023, I spoke with Cadence Design Systems’ Brad Griffin about artificial intelligence and machine learning as engineering aids for signal and power integrity optimization. Brad makes the case that artificial intelligence methods, when added to optimizing tools in the design flow, can help engineers to evaluate a larger number of potential solutions, and zero in on more highly optimized solutions than they may have found on their own.

Electromagnetic (EM) solvers based on Maxwell’s equations have proven invaluable in the advancement of digital electronics and wireline communications. Plain and simple, electrical engineers need to know what a circuit or electrical interconnect will do when excited by a dynamic or varying signal. In the signal integrity world, an interconnect that passes a DC connectivity check can completely fail at higher frequencies. In the power integrity world, a power rail that measures the correct DC voltage could easily go into oscillation when a dynamic load is applied. Learning the basic skills to fire up an EM simulator, obtain qualitative answers in minutes, and higher fidelity answers in a few days, can be the difference between sleepless nights of product failures vs. robust designs with wide design margins.

I recently spoke with Heidi Barnes and Stephen Slater, both engineers with Keysight Technologies, about their presentations at this year’s virtual AltiumLive. They discussed ways to avoid signal and power integrity challenges later by following simple board design practices early on, how SI and PI are interconnected, and why the return path must be more than an afterthought in high-speed designs.
