Hi, I've been posting notices about our US events and getting messages saying "Thanks, but how about events for Europe?" Well, here are two, one live, one web-based. Enjoy! -- Colin 1) Live event, Winnersh UK: High Speed Digital Design Symposium Wednesday 21 January 2009 08:30 - 17:15 Register: www.agilent.co.uk/find/HSDDS2009 Note: the above link seems to sometimes fail if the cookie on your computer from Agilent.com is not set to a UK location. A workaround 'til we fix this is to first go to: http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/morecountries.jspx ...and set your location to UK. ABSTRACT Join our complimentary symposium and hear from leading technology companies on the latest High Speed Digital, Signal Integrity, Serial Bus, FPGA and Memory technologies and trends. Guest speakers from Agilent Technologies, Xilinx, Elpida, The MathWorks and NXP Semiconductors will share with you test challenges, measurement theory and innovations on topics such as DDR Memory, High Speed Serial Bus and Jitter Analysis, FPGAs, PCI Express(r), Fast Interconnect Analysis and Simulation, developing Customised Measurements, Instrument Connectivity and Digital Wireless. We'll also spend time discussing emerging market and technology trends, and you'll learn about recent breakthroughs in test technology that enable designers to tackle their greatest high-speed digital design and validation challenges more efficiently and effectively than ever before, helping you to get your products to market faster. 2) Live Webcast: Back to Basics - Measurement-Based Channel Modeling For Signal Integrity Using Agilent ADS Thursday 15 Jan 2009 Begins 14:00 UK time, 15:00 Central Europe Time Register: http://tinyurl.com/si-euro Abstract In this webcast, we'll demonstrate a rapid technique for "what if" analysis for signal integrity applications. We first automatically fit an ADS circuit model to measured data, using a Tyco XAUI backplane as an illustrative example. Next, the circuit model is used in a series of "what if" simulations to that show what configuration changes will lead to the required performance. Examples include changes to the loss tangent, the via design, and daughter card/backplane trace impedance matching, and combinations of all three. This technique is a much faster and more thorough approach to explore the design space than "iterating the hardware to success."
