Eric Bogatin on signal integrity

Got a note from signal integrity guru and EDN contributor Eric Bogatin. He says:

1.       I’ve started a blog on signal integrity topics. There is a link on our splash page: www.beTheSignal.com. You can get an RSS feed by clicking the icon on the upper right of the blog page. If you have something you think I would be interested in writing about, drop me a note.

2.       I posted my SI Insights #3 which is probably one of my most unusual columns. It is the story of a product development program that went horribly wrong. Check it out at http://www.bethesignal.net/bogatin/index.php?cPath=55

3.       Our unique 2-day class, Signal Integrity Characterization Techniques (SICT) will be in Santa Clara on Aug 12-13. This is the fastest way for you to become a master of the TDR, the VNA and S-parameters. We bring in instruments and do many live demos. If you use S-Parameters and want to really understand what they mean and how to data mine their wealth of information, this class is for you. Details are at http://www.bethesignal.net/bogatin/index.php?cPath=59 . This is the only time we offer this class in 2008. It won’t come around again until Summer, 2009.

4.       We’ve updated our High Speed Design Principles (HSDP) class with the latest on switching noise, via design, lossy lines and PDN design. Our first showing is Oct 1-2 in Santa Clara. If you’re looking for an advanced look at taming your signal integrity problems leveraging engineering analysis, this class is for you.

5.       Our schedule for on-site classes in 2009 is starting to fill up. If you have an interest in any of our classes presented at your facility, drop me a note to reserve your slot.

Be sure to check out Eric’s stuff, signal integrity is getting more and more important, not only for FCC approvals, but in order to get those high-speed digital links working.
