Electromagnetic Fields for Normal Folks
Show me the pictures and hold the equations, please! The material presented will be focused on the physics of electromagnetic energy basic principles, presented in easy to understand language with plenty of diagrams. Attendees will discover how understanding the behavior of EM fields can help to design PCBs that will be more robust and have better EMC performance. This is not rocket science, but an easy to understand application of PCB geometry.
Novel Power Distribution System Design
This presentation will present a simple EM physics and geometry-based approach to designing power distribution networks on PCBs. From input power connection to the IC die, the simple rules discussed can be used to reduce power supply noise and improve EMC. New research presented on the impact of discrete components on radiated and conducted emissions, with an emphasis on cost analysis.
Effective PCB Design: Techniques to Improve Performance
As IC geometries continue to shrink and switching speeds increase, designing electromagnetic systems and printed circuit boards to meet the required signal integrity and EMC specifications has become even more challenging. A new design methodology is required. Specifically, the utilization of an electromagnetic physics-based design methodology to control the field energy in your design will be discussed. This training module will walk through the development process and provide you with guidelines for building successful, cost effective printed circuit boards.
Feeding the Beast: Consumption-based PCB design
A step by step guideline for determining the PCB design requirements based on device energy consumption requirements. Wave cycle times and transmission line capacity form the basis of this philosophy. The course will center on the LS1043 Network processor, with a focus on the core power supply requirements (7 A/uS).
