Another new thing, that I have wanted to do for a long time is to add a some hands-on simulation to the 3-day Lee Ritchey course on signal-integrity.

The number of participants (typically 50+) prohibits us from doing lab exercises with hands-on as part of the 3-day Lee Ritchey course. But for a more limited group, we can do the related lab exercises as a separate day. This is what we do now. So it’s first come first serve.

We rent in PC’s and have them all set up with Cadence SigXplorer, so we can spend as much time as possible on simulations hands-on in the four major SI areas. That will help understanding the concepts of the 3-day course and you will be ready to start doing those same simulations on your own.

This course runs on Thursday June 13th from 8:30 to 14.

Price is EUR 579.

If you have previously taken my 2-day signal integrity course, you should be familiar with these lab exercises as they have evolved from that course as true and tested.

Something that I have wanted to do for a long time is the short refresher course on Fields and Waves. If you are like most engineers I meet, you have a hard time remembering exactly how Maxwell’s equations work. But we all know understanding electric and magnetic fields is paramount to high speed design. The… Read more

With the increases in signalling speed, the industry has come to a point where designers need to understand way more about printed circuit board materials and fabrication in order to successfully design and specify PCB’s. The faster signal speeds make copper roughness a real issue of discussion due to skin effect losses. Boards are routinely… Read more

Do you have demanding stackups in your designs? For super high speed? Or because your prototypes are build locally and production runs in the far east? If you want to become a master of PCB stackups, you should meet Lee Ritchey in Stockholm this summer at the Stackup Design course. I have learned so much… Read more

If you have memory as part of your designs, this new course is something you should consider. Understand how DIMM manufacturers get away with 2 routing layers and how you can do the same on your boards. Hermann Ruckerbauer has spent most of his engineering career on memory, so he really knows way to much… Read more
