Hello, Just a quick FYI: Dr. Eric Bogatin of GigaTest Labs will be teaching the last of our Signal Integrity Engineering classes for this year, in December in Sunnyvale, CA. The classes will be at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, on December 9-12. Space is still available, please forward to any colleagues who might have a need or interest in attending. For detailed information, and to register for these classes, go to our website at www.gigatest.com. Thanks! -- Gary Otonari 408.524.2700 =============================== GTL 122 - Fundamental Principles of Signal Integrity: December 9-10 New to High Speed design? Comfortable with RF, but not Digital? Or just want to learn more about those signal integrity problems you?ve been hearing about? Our 122 class is the right place to start. This 2-Day course is a comprehensive introduction to the underlying principles of Signal Integrity Engineering. It is presented in a clear, practical and intuitive format with demonstrations of both measurement and simulation to improve learning. * Bandwidth and Rise Time * Time and Frequency Domains * Mutual and Self Inductance * Transmission Line Basics * Effects from Discontinuities * Crosstalk * Differential Pairs GTL 260 - Interconnect Models from Measurement: December 11-12 The GTL260 class is a two-day seminar which covers all aspects of measuring interconnect structures with TDR and VNA measurement tools, then using the measured data to extract accurate, high-bandwidth models for the interconnect. The class includes live measurement and simulation demos on real samples, including BGA packages, connectors, cables, PCB traces, vias and SMT components. * Impedance * TDR and S-parameter Profiles * Smith Chart * Inverse Scattering * Lossy Lines * Crosstalk and Differential Pairs * Connector and Package Models Classes are 2-days each. Cost is $1,250 for each class and group rates are available.

He has worked in senior engineering and management roles at AT&T Bell Labs, Raychem, Sun Microsystems and Ansoft. Currently, he is CTO at GigaTest Labs. He holds degrees in Physics from MIT and the University of Arizona. He has written three books on SI and interconnect design, published more than 80 articles, and regularly teaches classes on these topics to engineers worldwide. About GigaTest: We provide measurement, simulation and characterization services on high speed digital interconnects. We also provide training classes to engineers who need to perform this engineering themselves, and sell the measurement, simulation and probing systems needed to perform the engineering. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
