Crosstalk in PCB and packaging interconnects is an unavoidable consequence of their open waveguiding structure, resulting in signal energy leakage and susceptibility to noise—both from adjacent links and through shared power distribution networks (PDNs).
This DesignCon 2025 tutorial by Yuriy Shlepnev of Simberian Inc. demystifies the mechanisms, quantification, and mitigation of crosstalk. It explores real-world crosstalk scenarios using 3D electromagnetic analysis, visualizing energy propagation through power flow density plots.
You’ll also find a comparison of mitigation techniques, including routing strategies, isolation methods, and design choices that reduce near-end and far-end coupling.
Download the full PDF to deepen your understanding of crosstalk anatomy and how to control it in high-speed interconnect design.
