SIGNAL INTEGRITY AND HIGH SPEED DESIGN
Are your designs right the first time? 3 days High Speed with Lee Ritchey

Stockholm December 1st-3rd 2009

• How can Xbox use a 4-layer board with two 1500+ ball BGA packages?
• How would you design the board for a hard drive to pass EMC testing?
• How can you handle 1000s of multi-gigabit signals in a tera-bit router?
Get the answers and ask your own questions, when Silicon Valleys Mr. High-Speed: Lee Ritchey gives his 3-day course

3 Practical and Comprehensive Days
This highly practical course is designed to take the student through the entire process involved in designing and fabricating high speed PCBs. It begins with the fundamentals of electromagnetic fields and the behavior of transmission lines that are the basis for all high-speed signaling. From there, it examines all of the aspects of high-speed design leading to the development of a robust set of PCB design rules that accounts for power subsystem design, routing rules and design of PCB stack-ups as well as the fabrication rules needed to balance performance against cost and manufacturability.

The materials and examples used in this course are drawn from actual designs of high speed systems in current manufacture. These examples range from video games to terabit routers and cover the complete range of designs.

The design process presented is based on many years of completing designs that are “right the first time”. Students are shown many ways to improve their design process so that designs meet this objective. Reliable methods for controlling and containing EMI will also be thoroughly covered.

This course places special emphasis on very high speed differential signaling protocols such as XAUI, Hypertransport, PCI Express, Infiniband, SATA, SSCSI and others that are the backbone of modern computing. Actual circuits are built, tested and then modeled to correlate modeling techniques. The topic of how to design power delivery systems capable of supporting these protocols is also addressed.
