                              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
        the subject "RSVP IPC/DC" or phone Judy Horn at 781 942 7471
        by Friday 5pm, Dec 7th.  Please treat an RSVP as a commitment
        to attend as the food order is based on this.

        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,
--
