A Current Topic
The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council will
hold its next meeting on Tuesday, December 11th at the Four
Points Hotel on Totten Pond Rd in Waltham MA at 6pm.
Topic and Speaker:
Michael Jouppi of Coretec, Chairman of the IPC 1-10b Task Group
will present the latest developments in said groups efforts to
update the time honored and widely referenced current carrying
conductor charts. This long needed revamp will shed new light
on everyone's favorite look-up. Most designers have found the
age old charts lacking for current (sorry!) packaging trends.
With today's densities and new and fine geometries (fine lines,
micro or blind vias, embedded passives) new understanding must
be brought to the problems of power handling, including effects
of transients and planes. Tools will be provided.
Agenda:
Please note there is a $15 meeting fee for members, $20 for
non-members. Pizza/soft drinks will be served.
6:00 Arrivals and Pizza
6:45 Chapter Business
7:00 Michael Jouppi, Coretec
Location/Directions:
The Four Points Hotel (fka the Wyndham) in Waltham is located
at exit 27A off route 95/128, proceed east on Totten Pond Rd
and the hotel is on the right.
RSVP's requested:
Please RSVP by sending an email to [log in to unmask] with

by Friday 5pm, Dec 7th. Please treat an RSVP as a commitment

President's Note:
I'm very glad to have Mr Jouppi available for a presentation,
his background as a Thermal Engineer in several aerospace firms
allows him great insight into the problems of current handling.
His works to date on the Current Carrying Charts update have
made great progress and we can look forward to very insightful
perspective on what may become next year's widely distributed
new standard.
As this meeting falls the day after the normal Steering date
I'd like to ask Steering Committee, and any willing member, to
stay a few minutes after for chapter business.
Mission:
PCB Design is not called "do" for a reason. Done properly,the
design process is a creative problem solving discipline. To
address the packaging needs of electronics for today and to-
morrow, the physical designer needs an avenue to get exposed
and familiar with many different techniques and technologies.
The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council is
committed to presenting stake holders from every aspect of the
packaging realm. Our hope is to help you gain insight and un-
derstanding of the many possibilities in solving core problems.
Your attendance, help and participation are most welcome.
Thanks and regards,
