Signal Integrity and EMI Control in High Speed Digital Circuits

- a two-day Technology Workshop


Workshop Overview

This two-day course is a complete introduction to the high-speed design concepts needed to ensure success with designs utilising the fast and ultra-fast ICs of today and tomorrow. In today’s printed circuit boards, it’s not so much the rate at which the circuit is clocked, but the output edge rate (rise/fall time) of ICs that causes signal integrity problems, EMI and crosstalk.

Workshop Highlights

- Definition of High-Speed

This is not about clock speed as such, but more about rise/fall time – the time it takes for the signal to propagate down the transmission line.

- Impedance control

Controlling signal reflections and IC output currents.

- PCB inductance and capacitance

Every transmission line has inductance and capacitance as well as resistance.

- Wave propagation

When the rise time is long compared to the signal travel time we speak in terms of signal propagation. As rise times become short compared to propagation time we must think in terms of WAVE propagation.

- Signal attenuation

This is about noise budget and noise margin.

- Power distribution and decoupling

Decoupling capacitor values need to be chosen carefully AND placed carefully.

- Impedance equations

Formulae you can trust and some you cannot.

- Trace routing

Stub length and device terminations.

- Signal crosstalk

The difference between forward and backward crosstalk and crosstalk critical length.

- Layer stackup and materials

Some layer stackups work better than others and the effects of different materials.
