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!
