SDDC Meetings and Events
-YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND-
A Special Event
at
Del Mar Electronics Show, San Diego, CA
San Diego Chapter of the IPC Designers Council is pleased to present the
following:
Wednesday May 2nd, 2007@ 1:00PM
Lee Ritchey
Of
Speeding Edge
Presenting
"What Happens When Things Get Fast...?"
'In the presentation we take a real signal path from a super computer and
run it slow... and then speed it up to show what happens to the signal in
the way of degradation...
Since I use a simulator to do this, I can remove skin effect loss,
dielectric loss and other features one at a time, so the degradation caused
by each one is made visible. The tricks needed to get signals to go fast are
part of the presentation. The final speed of the signal path is 5.2 Gb/S
over 4 meters of cable... pretty fast and pretty long.'
- Lee Ritchey, The Speeding Edge
Lee Ritchey's new book "Right the First Time, A Practical Handbook for High
Speed PCB and System Design" is the premier publication of Speeding Edge.
The book describes all of the principles involved in high-speed
design such as transmission line management, signal integrity, power
subsystem design, PCB materials and EMI control.
While geared towards engineering professionals, the book is of significant
value to anyone making business decisions relative to designing and
implementing high-speed systems.

"anyone who wants to learn the ins and outs of high-speed board design can't
do much better than to turn to Lee Ritchey..." Lee was one of 19 technical
gurus recognized by EE Times as major drivers and innovators in their
fields, specifically CAD/CAE tools for simulation and design of PCBs.]*
