I will be teaching a course "Engineering 242 - Electrical Requirements for
Microelectronic Packaging" this fall at San Jose State University. This is
part of the Packaging program at San Jose State University and has basically
evolved into a course on Signal Integrity. The details of the course are as
follows:
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. Various kinds of drivers
and receivers using nonlinear circuit elements will be considered next
followed by phenomena related to transmission lines such as reflections,
delays, and crosstalk. Matching and signal layout techniques will be
analyzed using software. Design of power delivery systems and related topics
such as decoupling cap placement and power/ground bounce will next be
described. System level simulation using IBIS and transistor level models
for buffers will be covered. Measurements using Network Analyzers and TDRs
will be introduced. Other topics such as EMC considerations and theory of
electromagnetic solvers will be covered depending on availability of time.
The circuit simulator SPICE will be used extensively. Where possible, public
domain 2D and 3D electromagnetic solvers will also be used . The lab will be
mainly with SPICE and related software.
Prerequisites: Graduate standing; BS in engineering, chemistry or physics;
Consent of instructor.
Times: Aug 24 through Dec 14, 2002 (Saturdays) 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon;
Room: E301
Instructor: Raj Raghuram, Ph.D., Sigrity, Inc. (email: raghu@xxxxxxxxxxx)
