Printed board Fabrication Hot Buttons: Design Considerations

January 17, 2008 - 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. (CT)

Speaker: Dieter Bergman, IPC

 

Let's face it, designers and board manufacturers don't always tell each
other everything! Learn the secrets of the board fabrication process and
where manufacturers are compensating for poor and incomplete designer
instructions. Mastering this missing information can make your boards
more manufacturable and even save you money! Tune in for this
informative Webcast and pick up tips to help you become a more effective
designer today.

 

Issues that will to be discussed:

*                  over inadequate tolerance considerations 

*                  unreasonable finishing requirements 

*                  incomplete manufacturing instructions 

*                  poorly defined accept/reject criteria 

*                  constructive two-way communication, which is the
biggest challenge facing this industry, will also be addressed.

Routing of High Speed Lines

January 24, 2008 - 10:00 am - 11:00 am (CT)

Speaker: Rick Hartley, L3 Communication

 

Many issues contribute to signal integrity problems in high speed
transmission lines: cross talk, loss tangent of the PCB material, power
bus noise, etc. The single greatest contributor to signal integrity
issues is the lack of proper routing and termination of lines in PC
boards. Understanding a few simple concepts can take a circuit from
failure to success.  Understanding the concepts can dramatically reduce
cost and layer count of PC boards. 


This webcast will discuss:

*          identifying when a line is high-speed

*          the effect on signal integrity when proper routing is not
implemented

*          understanding and controlling impedance

*          routing schemes that work

*          when and how to properly terminate a line

*          the best board stacks for both impedance control and low cost
