Hi,
We are running a 3-day signal-integrity course in Stockholm featuring Lee
Ritchey. You may know Lee from this list or from his two books on signal
integrity, but get in the room with him and you will learn a lot more.
Seating is limited. Early bird discount thoughout September, so sign up now.
The course runs Dec 1-3rd.
Stockholm is a well connected airport, so with the airfare rates these days
you can fly in from most of Europe at very low cost.
Details on the web: www.axcon.dk/lee and below.
And yes ? you can win an XBox if you attend... and there is a
signal-integrity related story to tell about the XBox.
Best regards,
Rolf V. Ostergaard

PS: If you just want a fun matchstick challenge, we have that as well:

Title: Signal Integrity and High Speed System Design
Venue: Clarion Hotel Stockholm, Ringvägen 98, Box 20025, 104 60 STOCKHOLM,
SWEDEN.
Dates: Tuesday December 1st to Thursday December 3rd, 2009. 3 days total.
Time: 9:00 to 16:00 all 3 days.
Description:
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.
Part of the last day provides the participants with a unique opportunity to
get specific input and solutions to pre-submitted design challenges.
We encourage the participants to describe one or two specific design
challenges, and submit it for Lee Ritchey to specifically address during
this session!
This course addresses the most common high speed problems, including:
* Failures from crosstalk and reflections
* Problems related to time delays in PCB traces
* EMI failures
* Failures stemming from poor power system design
* Failures related to poor IC package design
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 with ever
shorter risetime. Actual circuits are built and 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.
Other subjects covered in this SI training by Lee Ritchey includes: eye
diagram, eye pattern, IBIS and IBIS models, PDS design, logic levels, edge
rates, rise/fall time, rocketIO, rapidio, capacitor types, resistor
selection, capacitance, inductance and resistance of capacitors, crosstalk,
impedance and impedance matching, transmision lines, propagation delay,
termination resistor values, pcb stackup and much more.
