Impedance Controlled and EMI Controlled Printed Circuit Design
November 14-15, 1997 -- In Scottsdale, AZ
Sponsored by the Greater Phoenix Designers Council
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 large electric and magnetic fields
generated by rapid rise & fall time devices are the driving force behind the
need to control both EMI and circuit impedance. A circuit with 1.0 nSec
rise time devices is equally prone to high speed effects, and the need to
control impedance and EMI, 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 and EMI 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 1-1/2 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.
. Crosstalk and EMI- Sources and resolution.
. PC board trace routing & stubs and device loading.
. PC board layer structuring and material characteristics.
. Impedance testing, fabrication concerns and notes to the fabricator.
All Attendees will receive a comprehensive workbook and a copy of IPC-D-317A
(IPC High Speed Design Standard) which can be utilized as future references
when designing High Speed and EMI Controlled circuit boards.
About the Instructor-
Rick Hartley is a Senior PCB Hardware Engineer at Applied Innovation, a
provider of equipment to the telecommunications and Internet access
industry. His background is in the design of printed circuits for computers,
aircraft avionics and telecommunications. Rick's first high speed design was
in 1979. He has directed high speed and RF circuit board design for the past
7 years with special attention to impedance and EMI control. Rick has an
associate EE degree and 32 years of experience in the electronics industry.
He has functioned as a technician & EE, dedicating the last 22 years to
printed circuit design and development. Rick serves on the IPC-D-275 and PC
Card Subcommittees, the IPC Designers Council Executive Committee, the IPC
Designer Education Committee and is Chairman of the High Speed Focus Module
Committee. Additionally, Rick is co-founder and past president of the
Greater Ohio Chapter of the IPC Designers Council.
