High speed and EMI issues are coming to a CAD station near you!

This one day course, presented by Rick Hartley, is a crisp focus on the issues PC board designers and Engineers need to know. The topics include:

? 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
? PC board trace routing and stubs and device loading
? Crosstalk and EMI – Sources and resolution
? PC board layer structuring and material characteristics
? Impedance testing, fabrication concerns and notes to the fabricator

All attendees will receive a comprehensive workbook on High Speed Design, which can be utilized as a future reference when designing High Speed printed circuit boards.

Rick Hartley is a senior PCB Hardware Engineer at Applied Innovation, 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 digital and RF circuit board design for the past 10 years. Rick has an Associate EE Degree and 34 years of experience in the electronics industry. He has functioned as a technician and circuit designer, dedicating the last 24 years to printed circuit design and development. Rick serves on the IPC-2221 & 2222 Subcommittees, the IPC Designers Council Executive Committee, the Designer Certification Committee, is Chairman of the High Speed Focus Module Committee and is co-founder and past president of the Greater Ohio Chapter of the IPC Designers Council.
