Author,Juergen FlammSenior Technical Sales LeaderCadence Design Systems,Juergen holds a MS EE degree from the“University Fridericiana”in Karlsruhe(Germany)Throughout his career,he has been actively involved at all levels and in all aspects of electronic design.He started designing wideband telephony line amplifiers and repeaters at AEG Telefunken.Next he joined Litef(Litton Germany)as the lead engineer for sensor electronic development.He designed mixed mode analog/digital ASICs,miniaturized hybrid electronics and next level multi-board system in a box electronics.He relocated to the United States in 1990 to join Litton corporate as the leader of an international technology transfer team.Shortly after,he was promoted to manager of the Analog Design Group to move on to manager of the Electronic Engineering Department.With the beginning of 2001,a planned careerr change brought Juergen to Cadence.He joinedPSD as a Senior Technical Sales Leader with focus on the Allegro PCB SI family of tools.He holds 5 patents in the areas of performance electronics for fiber optic and MEMS sensors.,3,Agenda,IntroductionDescribing the problem Developing a SolutionStep1:Power delivery system
