High-Speed & Signal Integrity Basics

Prerequisites

None

Objectives

Cover High-Speed & Signal Integrity Basics 

Topics Covered

The new "High Speed+Signal Integrity Basics" interactive course will cover the topics below - in theory and in practical sessions which would use the Zuken EMC Training system (www.zuken.com/emctraining) where each student then gets his free copy of the software:

Basics of Transmission Line Theory:

  • Lossy and lossless transmission lines, equivalent circuits
  • Impedance and propagation delay of printed circuit board traces
  • The design of printed circuit traces
  • Impact of the layer stackup
  • Single ended and differential transmission lines
  • Impedance control
  • Parametric studies and JAVA applets from EMC-Training System underlining the theory content

Refection and Ringing:

  • Definition of Refection and Ringing
  • How rise time and interconnect length affect ringing and signal distortion
  • Impedance matching and ringing
  • Parametric Studies/Simulations using the EMC-Training System

Crosstalk:

  • Crosstalk causes, capacitive and inductive coupling
  • Forward versus backward Crosstalk
  • Crosstalk in differential high-speed signaling
  • Crosstalk reduction methods
  • Parametric Studies/Simulations using the EMC-Training System

Termination Schemes

  • Concepts of Trace Termination
  • Transmission Line Effects of Termination
  • Different Termination Methodologies and their implementation
    Parametric Studies using the EMC-Training System
