*IEEE CPMT* *Signal Integrity Fundamentals One Day Short Course* *UC Irvine * *July 19, 2013 * * * * * *Abstract*: This one-day short course provides practicing design engineers an in-depth introduction into the fundamentals of signal integrity. It covers the practical and theoretical aspects necessary to design modern high-speed digital systems at the chip, package, and board levels. Attendees will learn from Stephen Hall and Howard Heck, two leading experts from Intel Corporation. *Instructors*: *Stephen Hall and Howard Heck, Intel Corporation* *Topics*: · High Frequency SI Challenges · Transmission lines · Skin effect, dielectric loss, and surface roughness · Single-ended and differential signaling · Cross-talk · Eye diagram analysis · High-speed serial interconnections · Equalization and de-emphasis · Jitter · Simultaneous Switching Output noise (SSO) · Power distribution * * * * *Location*: *Calit2 Building, UC Irvine* *Date*: *Friday, July 19, 2013* * 8:00 am 5:00 pm* *Who Should* *Attend*: Engineers and engineering managers who need a detailed introduction to signal integrity, layout engineers who support high-speed design, and serial I/O buffer circuit designers. *Register*: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5563921840 *Parking*: There is a University fee of $7 for parking. Parking will be available in the Advanced Parking Structure (APS) off East Peltason Drive. *Sponsors*: IEEE CPMT Orange County Chapter, IEEE Orange County Section, UC Irvine Professor Chin C. Lee, UC Irvine Professor Franco DeFlaviis. * * *Instructors * *Biographies*: *Stephen Hall, Intel Corporation,* began his career in 1992 in the Special Purpose Processor Division of the Mayo Foundation developing multi-gigabit modeling techniques for X-band digital radar and serial optical links. In 1996, Stephen accepted a job at Intel, where he was lead designer for buses on Pentium® II, III and IV systems, coordinated research with universities, led research teams in the area of high-speed modeling and taught Signal Integrity courses. In 2000, Stephen published the textbook High-Speed Digital System Design through John Wiley & Sons and is currently co-authoring a new book Advanced Signal Integrity for High-Speed Digital Designs which will be published in the fall of 2008. From 2003 to 2007, Stephen primarily researched new modeling and measurement solutions for channel speeds as high as 30 Gigabits per second and is currently leading PCIe3 channel development at Intel. *Howard Heck, Intel Corporation* Since joining Intel in 1995, Howard has held R&D engineering and management positions for system electrical technologies (interconnect, power, EMI). He led the development team for the Pentium® II 100 MHz Host Bus, earning an Intel Achievement Award, and managed teams that defined and delivered technology solutions for Direct RDRAM, DDR II, Pentium® 4 Processor Host Bus, and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interfaces. Prior to joining DEG, he led the Advanced Signaling Technologies team in Intels Systems Technology Lab, focusing on modeling, simulation, measurement, and technology solution development for 10+ Gb/s signaling. He currently leads the signal integrity effort for Larrabee and Larrabee II. Howard earned the B.S.Ch.E. degree from Northwestern University in 1985, and the M.S.E.E. degree from the National Technological University in 1994. From 1985-1995 he was employed by IBMs printed circuit board manufacturing and high performance packaging lab, where he led electrical development of their HyperBGA packaging technology. Since 1997, Howard has also held a position as an Adjunct Professor at the Oregon Graduate Institute, where he teaches High Speed Digital Interconnect Design. He has presented papers at several industry conferences, holds six patents with four pending and is a Senior Member of the IEEE. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
