CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE/HIGH SPEED CIRCUIT DESIGN
A seminar for engineers, technicians, and others in technical professions who
want to understand the high speed/transmission line environment, the concept
of controlled impedance; and how these are applied to printed circuit board
design.

Presented By
THE AUSTIN/HEART OF TEXAS CHAPTER
OF THE IPC DESIGNERS COUNCIL, INC.
A nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation

Friday Sept 26, 1997 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Doubletree Hotel, 6505 N IH 35, Austin Texas

This one day course gives you a crisp focus on issues in printed circuit
board
design including:
>A definition of the high speed/transmission line environment.
>Why we need to control the impedance of PC board traces.
>The effect the PC board's natural inductance and capacitance have on the
circuit and the transmission line.
>The fundamentals of wave propagation and signal attenuation.
>Correct power distribution and decoupling.
>Impedance modeling, impedance equations, impedance/reflection control
techniques.
>Crosstalk and EMI- Sources and resolution.
>PC board trace routing & stubs and device loading.
>PC board layer structuring and material characteristics.
>Impedance testing, fabrication concerns and notes to the fabricator.

Instructor Rick Hartley is a Senior PCB Hardware Engineer at Applied
Innovations, a provider of equipment to the telecommunications and Internet
access industry. His background is in the design of printed circuits for
computers, aircraft avionics and telecommunications. Rick's first high speed
design was in 1979. He has directed high speed and RF circuit board design
for the past 7 years. Rick has an associate EE degree and 32 years of
experience in the electronics industry. He has functioned as a technician and
circuit designer, dedicating the last 22 years to printed circuit design and
development. Rick serves on the IPC-D-275 and PC Card Subcommittees, the IPC
Designers Council Executive Committee, the Designer Certification Committee
and is co-founder and past president of the Greater Ohio Chapter of the IPC
Designers Council.  Some of our members have seen attended this presentation
at the PCB design conference and give it high marks for value to the PCB
Designer!
