Three Day Seminar on

“High Speed Board Design”

Organized by

M. S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies

Date: 10th, 11th & 12th July 2008
( Thursday, Friday & Saturday)

Venue: M. S. Ramaiah School of Advanced Studies, Bangalore

Overview:
With increasing demand for new electronic products with latest technologies, engineers need to innovate, design and realize new applications to meet the rising demand. Integrated circuits working at very high speed clocks are being designed with latest VLSI technology, integration of these discrete devices on a PCB should ensure that the data rate of signals propagating on board (PCB) matches with the clock speed of the devices on board. Increasing clock speeds and fast serial interconnections are bringing high-speed design considerations into mainstream board development. High-speed signal propagation places particular demands on the physical design of PCB.

A successful high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) requires integration of the device(s), PCB(s), and other elements into the design. Understanding high-speed fundamentals and the relationship of speed to distance and how to apply this knowledge is the key to successful designing. Any significant noise problems at the system level can be very expensive and must be solved at the board level during layout. But yet board costs must be managed properly. It is easy to over-design a product, have unnecessary layers and drive the cost of a product up too high.

Global market for PCB design:
Market Size estimate - $50 Billion worldwide in 2008. CAGR (compounded Annual growth rate) of greater than 12% as per EE Times September 2007 issue. India is getting greater number of new PCB design starts due to a. low manpower costs, b. Ability to deliver designs of medium complexity within budget and on time< 1 month and maximum of 1 iteration. PCB-CAD Market is about 10% of the EDA Software market at about 500-600 million dollars worldwide. Primarily the market in Asia for PCB design consists for 5 major application areas: Consumer Electronics 26%, Industrial controls + Medical Electronics + instrumentation – 22%, Telecom industries – 17%, Automotive – 8%, Computers/Peripherals – 19%, Military + Others - 8%.

Opportunities:
Most of the high speed PCB design jobs are being outsourced to India, and at the same time many of the Indian companies venturing into developing innovative products for the local market and overseas market, there is a huge demand for high speed board design engineers. The demand is mainly due to nonavalibality skilled design engineers those who can take up challenging opportunities. Engineers with strong fundamental knowledge in issues like signal integrity, RF, cross talk, layout design are in greater demand if they are well versed with high speed design and analysis using industry standard tools.

Seminar Focus:
This three day, lecture/demo course, focuses on fundamental principles in high speed board design, signal integrity, cross talk, terminations and reflections, power distribution and layout design. The emphasis is also towards use of industry standard tools for design and analysis of high speed board design issues. Extensive use is made of simulation tools and numerical examples. This is a practical seminar for the design engineer who must solve circuit board layout and design problems on a regular basis.
Objectives:
• This practical seminar covers the important issues in high-speed digital design and signal integrity.
• Dedicated specifically for engineers and designers who have to work with high-speed digital signals, this course will enable them to identify and address high-speed design problems.
• Practical sessions using education and EDA software tools will complete the course.
• Anyone who works with high-speed digital signals will understand and benefit from the material presented and as well learn how these techniques could be applied with state-of-the art tools in today's design flows.

Who should attend?
• Digital logic designers
• System architects
• EMC specialists
• Technicians
• Printed wiring layout professionals
• Applications engineers
• Anyone who works with digital logic at high speeds

This is a practical seminar. It is filled with examples, explanations, and demonstrations. Anyone who works with high-speed digital signals will understand and benefit from the material presented.

Lecture Sessions:
The topics identified are based on the market scenario in the area of High speed board design. Suggestions from experts in this domain have recommended the topics and are also delivering the same. Guest speakers from MNC’s DRDO organizations, Academic institutions with strong knowledge and experience are being invited to deliver the sessions and share their experiences.
