FYI, since the SI-list does not accept the attachment, I convert it into plain text. Electrical Requirements for Microelectronic Packaging (Engr 242), Fall 2006 SJSU College of Engineering Course Description: As clock speeds increase in digital and communication circuits, Signal Integrity has become very critical both on-chip and off-chip. This course will deal with Signal Integrity issues in IC packages and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Starting with RC, RL, and RLC circuits, basic circuit analysis will first be introduced. Partial Element Equivalent Circuit (PEEC) as an important means of package modeling is then presented along with its electromagnetic interpretations. Various kinds of drivers and receivers using nonlinear circuit elements will be considered next followed by interconnect modeling and phenomena related to transmission lines such as reflections, delays, and crosstalk. Analysis and termination methods for differential pair are also covered. Design of Power Delivery Systems (PDS) and related topics such as Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) and decoupling capacitor placement will next be described. Selected topics on the system level simulation may include IBIS models for buffers, S-parameter models for interconnection channels, as well as package characterization by EM solvers. Measurements using Network Analyzers and TDRs will be introduced. The circuit simulator SPICE will be used extensively. Where possible, public domain EM solvers such as FASTCAP and FASTHENRY will also be used. Prerequisites: Graduate standing; BS in engineering, chemistry or physics; Consent of instructor. Times: Aug 26 through Dec 16, 2006 (Saturdays) 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon; Room: E 340 Instructor: Jin Zhao, Ph.D., Sigrity, Inc. (email: jzhao@xxxxxxxx) Enrollment Info: For those not enrolled in SJSU's graduate program, this course may be taken through SJSU's Open University.
