To: cc: Subject: Northern Illinois D.C. Meeting June 5, 1997
There will be a Northern Illinois D.C. meeting June 5, 1997. Hosted by Karl Bates and Linda Gallo at Westell Technologies, 750 North Commons Drive, Aurora, IL 60504 (630) 375-4346
Westell is located just north of Fox Valley Mall, It is in the North West corner of Liberty & Commons.
Agenda: There will be a presentation, the speakers will be Charles Mason and Ken Wratten from Elexsys International Inc.
The topic will be :
High Speed Board Design
Elexsys International is one of the industry's leading PCB manufacturers, with a focus on engineering support for design teams working on high speed board designs, medium-to-high technology PC boards, large backplanes, and box level assembly,. This seminar is presented by Ken Wratten, Vice President of Systems Engineering. Ken holds a BSEE, and has 9 years experience in systems engineering, 14 years in the interconnect industry, and 6 years in signal integrity engineering work.
The focus of this seminar, High Speed Board Design, is a combined tutorial on signal integrity in high speed board designs, and optimized manufacturability. As vendors of logic families continue to introduce devices with edge rates below 2 ns, it is increasingly important to understand and control the transmission line properties of the board trace segments that make up logic circuit interconnection paths. The definition of board design rules concurrent with logic design (prior to board layout) promises the most efficient time to market for product design.
It is vital that the electrical design rules for high speed board designs have imbedded into them a mechanical implementation that optimizes the manufacturability, yield, cost, and ability to multiple source the design. It is often necessary to compromise between optimum electrical performance, and optimized manufacturability. The task of product engineering is to balance these two concerns as early as possible in the development of a new product, to allow proper evaluation and advance planning for the impact of decisions regarding product performance versus lead time and pricing.
This presentation is recommended for board design, layout, and packaging engineering; and program management personnel. The seminar presents the performance issues encountered in transmissive net designs, analysis tools available, methodology of deriving design rules, and guidelines on manufacturability constrains based on today,s board fabrication technology
There will be refreshments at the council meeting.
Sorry for the late notice but we were trying to nail down the topic and meeting room.
