Hello, This is a reminder for lunch presentation pertaining to EMC/SI/Component Technology and Packaging. Speaker has a lot of good information to share, and this presentation is highly recommended. Hope to see you all there. Regards, Oscar Fallah Chair, IEEE-EMC SCV Chapter *The topic:* "Embedded Passives: Methodologies and Opportunities for Implementation" Embedded Passives (EP) has evolved over the last several years, demonstrating value as a versatile means for enhancing the functionality of the PWB by improving circuit performance, simplifying assembly processes and enabling product miniaturization. The value of EP technology has been demonstrated in numerous RF and logic circuit designs by incorporating thin film decoupling capacitors as well as Polymer Thick Film (PTF) resistors. The full potential of EP has yet to be realized due to a cacophony of industry offerings and much-displaced initial expectations. Success in implementation depends on selecting the appropriate application and diligent trade-off analysis during the design stage. This discussion will highlight some mainstream EP technologies and demonstrate the value that was realized through various product implementations. The speaker: John Savic, Cisco Systems The Website for Registration: http://www.cpmt.org/scv/meetings/cpmt0909l.html The website will be closed at Midnight on Tuesday, the 22nd.
