Presenting: David Hoover of Multek, Inc. - CAUTION - High Speed Zone Ahead! 6:00PM Tuesday, May 25th, 2004 at Overland Storage, San Diego, CA Topic Description: A discussion on Controlled Impedance - High-Speed Design Guidelines and Capabilities and Low Loss Materials (including Low Loss Substrates and High Frequency) Presented by David Hoover - Sr. Field Applications Engineer, Multek, Inc. and Leena Gulia - OEM Marketing Engineer, Park/Nelco The presentation will discuss many of the typical issues encountered with modeling, specifying, and testing Controlled Impedance (CI) PCBs. Starting with a list of conditions identifying when a PCB may require CI, the presentation will explore the various techniques used today to model CI from the Motorola MECL formulae through 3D Field Solvers. Examples will be presented on how entry variables can affect the calculated results based on the modeling software parameters. Additionally, they will cover common Dk ranges found in standard Epoxy based FR-4 along with typical Er expectations found at higher frequencies. Discussion on low loss substrates along with what is currently being used to gain higher data rates (10 and up to 40 GHz) on multilayer PCBs and the cost implications of switching between material sets. David Hoover is employed by Multek Technology acting as a (field) Staff Application Engineer based in the San Jose area. Dave's experience includes 27+ years of Printed Circuit Industry experience. Dave is active in the IPC and sits on a few subcommittees, including the Controlled Impedance Circuit Boards and High Speed Logic Design subcommittee. He has been a member of The Technical Program Committee for the last three years of IPC Expo Conference's.Dave's engineering expertise includes high performance materials, Signal Integrity Analysis, and PCB Surface Finishes. Leena Gulia works for Park Nelco as an OEM Marketing Engineer. She is responsible for interacting with the OEMs to better assist them with their material needs depending on the various designs and applications. Leena has a MS in Chemistry from Wright State University and has been a part of this industry for a little over 4 years. Before that Leena has worked in the capacity of a Research Chemist.
