  IEEE/EMC Society Meeting
  January 10, 2006
     
  Time:     Social 5:30 p.m.  Presentation 7:00 p.m. 
   
  Place:     Applied Materials Bowers Cafeteria
  3090 Bowers Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95051-0804
   
  Subject: Stackup Analysis Using Simulation Tools 
   
  Speaker:  Chuck Troia
   
  It is important for Electronic and hardware engineers to not only be 
knowledgeable of the circuits and components they use in their designs, but 
also to understand and be familiar with the construction of the circuit board 
stackup.  The stackup is the specification of the arrangement of circuit board 
layers that defines the make up of the circuit boards that are used in the 
implementation of their designs.  This presentation will cover topics such as 
how to identify basic stackup goals, the major elements and requirements for 
PCB stackup analysis, will include examples of how to perform stackup analysis 
using a simple simulation tool; and some simple thoughts on how to review the 
data and information available from a PCB Vendor.

    In Memoriam
   
  Rich Watkins
   
  It is with utmost sadness that we report the passing of a longtime friend and 
contributor to the EMC society, Rich Watkins.  He passed away peacefully of 
natural causes in late December.
   
  Rich was an exceptional loyal friend of the society and a great test 
engineer.  He was a dedicated individual and contributed by leading the 
Membership activities of the Chapter for many years.  Rich had worked both in 
the commercial and military sectors such as Apple Computer, ESL-TRW, HP, and 
others and within the IEEE/EMC/SCV/ADCOM for a number of years. He lived in 
Sunnyvale for a number of years before moving to the Sacramento area last year.
   
  Rich was a pleasant person to be around, and he was well-known for his 
favorite Hawaiian shirts. His memories and the contributions he has made to the 
Society will be with us.
