Design for high-speed challenges such as timing, signal integrity, and EMI has become a standard part of most PCB design processes. It is no longer sufficient to rely on conservative design rules ("rules of thumb") and then hope that the design will work on the first prototype iteration. An effective design process eliminates design iterations, gets you into production faster, and minimizes cost.
This involves:
- Early design exploration to evaluate new devices and define constraints
- Early involvement with board manufacturers, manufacturing (assembly), procurement, and mechanical engineering
- Routing strategies that adhere to defined constraints
- Design verification to ensure that the design will function per design specifications
Who Should Attend
- Engineers and Engineering Managers who design board-level systems
- Anyone concerned with high-speed PCB design -- even if you're not a signal integrity expert
- Users of tools such as P-CAD, CADSTAR, OrCAD, and Protel
What You Will Learn
This session will take you through a typical PCB design process and highlight areas where high-speed considerations should be made.
This seminar will address:
- Analysis of driver strength, net topology and termination, as well as their effects on signal integrity and EMC
- Constraint definition for achieving desired performance metrics
- Routing strategies that will help you adhere to high-speed constraints on an already complex board
- Verification of signal integrity and EMC
- Effective debug techniques to resolve any problems that are found
