> Don't be caught with your clock frequency down!
>
> The output edge rate (rise/fall time) of the devices in a
> circuit, not the rate at which the devices are clocked, is the
> cause of the "high speed" effect in a printed circuit board. The
> electric/magnetic wave generated by rapid rise & fall time
> devices are the driving force behind the need to
> control circuit impedance and the high speed effect.
>
> A circuit with 1.0 nSec rise time devices is equally prone to
> high speed effects, whether being clocked at 1MHz or 100MHz.
>
> Rise times today are increasing at a dynamic rate due to die
> shrink by Integrated Circuit manufacturers and by demand for high
> speed parts from key industries, such as Computer and
> telecommunications manufacturers. Eventually, economics will
> drive slower devices out of the market place and we will all be
> in a high speed, impedance controlled environment.
>
> The net effect, ready or not, is that High Speed and EMI issues
> are coming to a CAD station near you!
>
> Training to get you up to Speed!
>
> This 1 day course is a crisp focus on the issues PC board
> designers and Engineers need to know. The topics include-
> * A definition of the high speed/transmission line environment.
> * Why we need to control the impedance of PC board traces.
> * The effect the PC board's natural inductance and capacitance
> have on the circuit and the transmission line.
> * The fundamentals of wave propagation and signal attenuation.
> * Correct power distribution and decoupling.
> * Impedance modeling, impedance equations, impedance/reflection
> control techniques.
> * PC board trace routing & stubs and device loading.
> * Crosstalk and EMI- Sources and resolution.
> * PC board layer structuring and material characteristics.
> * Impedance testing, fabrication concerns and notes to the
> fabricator.
>
> All Attendees will receive a comprehensive workbook on High Speed
> Design which can be utilized as a future reference when designing
> High Speed printed circuit boards.

> DIRECTIONS TO Texans Association
> (Texas Instruments, 13500 N Central Expy,Dallas, TX 75243):
>
> FROM EASTBOUND OR WESTBOUND LBJ (I 635)-
> Exit NORTH on 75 (Central Expressway). Immediately exit at
> Midpark. Follow service road to traffic light at Midpark.
> Turn right into the Texas Instruments facility (open access
> to parking areas). Turn left after entering the parking lot
> and follow road straight until it ends at a fence. Texans
> Association building will be on your left. Park anywhere
> near the building.
>
> FROM SOUTHBOUND CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY (75)-
> Exit at Midpark (next exit past Spring Valley). Turn left at
> the traffic signal at Midpark and cross over Central
> Expressway and follow straight into the Texas Instruments
> facility (open access to parking areas). Turn left after
> entering the parking lot and follow road straight until it
> ends at a fence. Texans Association building will be on your
