FYI, GigaTest Labs is introducing a new class on high speed board design. This class is a two-day class to be held in Sunnyvale, CA, on November 6 and 7, and is taught by Dr. Eric Bogatin of GigaTest. Early enrollment price is $1,250 per student. If you're interested, you can go to our website, or contact us directly. -- Gary Otonari 408.524.2700 www.gigatest.com =================== GTL250, High Speed Board Design, covers many of the important signal integrity and EMI design principles for boards and systems operating at 100 MHz and above. You will be guided through many of the subtle and non obvious effects of sub nanosecond rise times propagating through printed circuit boards, connectors and IC packages. Topics include terminations and simulations, routing and layout topologies, lossy lines and material properties, cross talk and terminations, differential circuits, how to minimize switching noise, optimizing the impedance of the power distribution network and designing out EMI problems. This course is suitable for engineers at all levels of experience. If you are not comfortable with concepts of characteristic impedance, inductance, cross talk or differential impedance, you might want to consider taking GTL122 Fundamental Principles of Signal Integrity, also offered by GigaTest Labs. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
