Overview
As part of Esperan`s drive to provide high quality training on all of the methodology issues in the design of today`s electronic systems, we have teamed up with Analytical Edge, a company specialising in training and consultancy for high speed PCB design.
The development of semiconductor technology has meant that fast edge speeds are now the norm for many standard digital device families, and their effects have to be considered in PCB design to maintain signal integrity, even at modest clock speeds. This unique course provides a fundamental first step in understanding and applying the principles of high-speed design to ensure signal integrity in PCBs, and gives participants a sound knowledge of basic techniques which they can apply immediately to benefit their designs.While EDA signal integrity tools are not required, this course provides an essential foundation necessary for successful application of such tools.
The course is divided into three parts:
Part 1 emphasises the underlying physical principles of high speed PCB design issues and their application to real-world design projects. Application issues covered include controlling line impedance and crosstalk, the effects of power distribution, decoupling, and the PCB layer structure.
Part 2 focusses on the material properties of PCBs, highlighting the important parameters for high speed circuits (including relative cost and fabrication), and comparing these properties in a wide variety of available laminate materials.
Part 3 applies the principles developed in Part 1 to EMI on the PCB, demonstrating the critical roles played by the PCB structure, components, IC packaging, interconnection and grounding in EMI generation and propagation. Since much of the material presented refers directly to the same physical principles developed earlier, this part of the course builds on and reinforces key concepts, in addition to providing practical guidance on EMI control.
Uniquely, the course is liberally illustrated with examples and scenarios showing the effects of varying different parameters, enabling participants to develop an understanding of their relative importance and magnitude. Helpful guidelines on assessing and implementing best practice are included.
The course is suitable for:
Digital design engineers who either have no experience of the background and methods required for high-speed PCB design, or who have some experience but would benefit from a more complete and in-depth knowledge of the topics presented.
PCB designers working on digital boards where high-speed design rules are required.
Prerequisites
Participants should be familiar with basic electrical concepts. No prior knowledge of EDA design tools is required or assumed.
The lecturer is Dr Bob Easson a lecturer at Edingburgh University and an expert in the area of High Speed PCB Design Methodology
