This one day class is an expanded version of the two hour presentation don
at DesignCon 2010 which was attended by more than 160 engineers and
fabricators.
PCB Stackup Design- Optimizing Signal Integrity, Manufacturability and
Reliability of a Printed Circuit Board
Event: One Day Material Selection and Fabrication Techniques course
co-presented with Isola Group
Date: December 6, 2011
Location: Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa
3050 Bristol Street
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Friday, December 2, 5:00 PM PDT
Course Description:
Today's high-speed PCBs, with their inherent signal integrity and power
delivery requirements, make it necessary to employ far more discipline in
the choice of materials and the arrangement of layers in the stackup. These
requirements are outside the skill set of all PCB fabricators. The
objective of this course is to guide the design engineer through the process
of evaluating and selecting the right laminate for any given design and then
designing a PCB stackup that meets the numerous requirements of a complex,
multilayer board that works right the first time.
The first portion of this class consists of a one-hour session conducted by
Isola Group. Topics that will be addressed include the building blocks
available for core and prepreg materials, the impact of material selection;
an overview of available materials and what designers should be looking for
during the evaluation and selection process.
The second portion of the class is conducted by Lee Ritchey, founder and
president of Speeding Edge who is considered to be one of the industry's
premier authorities on the design and manufacture of high-speed PCB systems.
The fast data paths that are pervasive in all PCB products being currently
designed make it imperative to be able to design stackups that have
predictable and repeatable impedances. This new five hour training session
addresses several industry-critical issues including accounting for copper
roughness and its affect on overall signal loss; specifying copper roughness
to ensure repeatable loss from lot to lot and fabricator to fabricator;
specifying glass weave styles to minimize differential skew; determining
plane copper thickness to ensure power delivery needs are met and specifying
dielectric materials that are readily available and economical to
manufacture. FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THIS CLASS, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE

What's Included:
*3-ring binder containing all presentation slides used in
class
*Signed course certificate
* Copy of Right the First Time Volume 1 Book on CD-ROM
*Continental breakfast and lunch and snacks
Cost: $500. Course registration can be done at www.speedingedge.com. If you
have questions or require additional information, please contact Speeding
Edge at 707-568-3983 or send an e-mail to kjspeedingedge@xxxxxx
Additional Information Presented As Part of This Course:
will provide an overview on available laminate and prepreg materials
including information on how laminate and prepreg are manufactured.
Information on glass fabric building blocks that are available including
explanations of nomenclature for glass fabric and why certain glass fabrics
are used for various designs will be discussed. Isola will discuss the
different copper types available and the effects on signal integrity; the
impact of core and prepreg material selection; and what designers should be
looking for during the evaluation and selection process. Electrical Test
methods for core materials will also be discussed to show differences in
test methods and material testing that could affect high speed digital
designs.
Accommodations are not included in the course fee. For room reservations,
please contact the hotel directly at 714-438-4932.
