IPC Designers Council Chesapeake Chapter Meeting Announcement Guests are welcome, but registration is required! Board Members: Linda Mazzitelli President Peter Demaree Vice-President Steve Sarasin Secretary Mirka Halas Treasurer Monday, 6:30 PM November 18, 1996 at PRACTICAL MICRO DESIGN 7432 Alban Station Boulevard, Suite A-105 Springfield, VA 22150 Speaker: Jim Hixson - ADI Topic: Design for Manufacturability seems to be a popular buzz-phrase these days. What about Design for Operability? Will my circuit even work? Jim Hixson will overview and discuss the types of data errors that will destroy a tight design schedule, force design re-spins and drive development costs though the roof. Find out why revision A is inevitable and how you can help prevent its occurrence. Jim Hixson is the Product Development Manager at ADI, a Design Rule Analysis software firm in Herndon, Virginia. ADI's software reads CAD output data and reports inconsistancies between this data and the CAD database. ADI's Pro-Circuit Builder product boasts multiple installations at corporations such as Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, Compaq Computer and many, many others.
