Overcoming DDR Routing Challenges With Advanced PCB Design and DFM Practices | Sierra Circuits

Designing DDR prototypes? Don’t let common DFM issues derail your project. In this webinar with EMA Design Automation, we’ll walk you through essential design for manufacturing (DFM) practices that ensure your DDR3, DDR4, or DDR5 designs are production-ready. From annular rings and copper clearances to via management and stack-up planning, you’ll learn how to eliminate errors before they hit the fab floor. Our expert presenters will cover the critical steps to building high-speed, reliable DDR boards—without compromising on signal integrity or manufacturability. Whether you're routing microvias or finalizing your constraint manager, these DFM insights will help you reduce respins, improve yields, and accelerate your design cycle. What you’ll learn: • Key DFM rules for DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5 designs • How to plan your stack-up for optimal signal integrity • Copper-to-copper spacing, via aspect ratios, and plating best practices • Tips for trace routing, DDR placement, and termination techniques • DFF, DFA, and DFT checks for better handoff to fabrication • Managing constraints and avoiding signal integrity pitfalls Meet the presenters: ► Jerry Long, Sr. Applications Engineer, EMA Design Automation ► Orlen Bates, Field Applications Engineer, EMA Design Automation ► Amit Bahl, CRO, Sierra Circuits or "The PCB Guy" ******************************************* THE PCB DESIGNER'S CORNER PCB forum SierraConnect: https://sierraconnect.protoexpress.co...
