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. 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 28 through Dec 18, 2004 (Saturdays) 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon;
Room: E301

Instructor: Ji Zheng, Ph.D., Sigrity, Inc.  (email: zheng.ji@xxxxxxxx)

Enrollment Info:  For those not enrolled in SJSU?s graduate program, this
course may be taken through SJSU?s Open University.  The cost is
approximately $635 + cost of textbook for the 15 week course.  For early
enrollment please contact the SJSU Continuing Education Office at (408)
924-2670.  Enrollment during the first class period will also be
facilitated.
