Be A SI Rock Star

We're launching a new training class called 'SI Rock Star' that I think is going to be really awesome. I combined theory with practial examples over 3 days and I'm throwing in free software and some of our books and other material all for just $1895 per student. Each student will get a one year node locked license for our new SharkSim PCB software for Signal Integrity that will allow you to practice what you have just learned. I'm also going to throw in our IBIS modeling book as well as some of our other SharkSim software products so it's a really great deal.

Get the IBIS Modeling Book

Get the most up to date and practical book on IBIS Modeling available on the market today! "Hacking IBIS Models for Signal Integrity Analysis" provides complete coverage of IBIS modeling from data generation to quality checking. This book is good for model developers and end users! You can choose between a complete training package that includes the full color book, educational version of our flagship SharkSim application, and training labs or just get the book to add to your technical library!

Happy Halloween

Letter from the Editor

Dear *|FNAME|*,

Halloween is coming right around the corner and I look forward to it every year for the loads and loads of candy! Last year I dressed up as a ghostbuster so maybe this year I will go as slimer.

I've put together a training class that I think finally has everything in one class: theory, practical application, and software for real labs and exercises. I'm calling it the 'SI Rock Star' class and I'm offering the first public class December 6-8 in Santa Clara. Read below for more!

Finally if anyone is going to be in North Carolina next week be sure to stop by and say hi as we are going to have a booth at PCB Carolina 2010.

Best Regards,

Tim Coyle Editor

New Product Mix

SharkSim News

SharkSim IBIS Modeling Software I have been developing different Signal Integrity tools under the SharkSim brand for the last year and a half and I finally put together an offical product roadmap and broken the product mix down into usage categories. I won't list them all out here but go check out the new features page on SharkSim website to see the full details.

SharkSim Product Mix »

I will mention that I have the beta ready for our new Signal Integrity simulation tool called SharkSim PCB. This gives you a schematic based tool to enter your topology and run simulation with a SPICE engine like HSPICE or even PSPICE. I think it's going to be a great cost effective tool for engineers to do pre-layout analysis for Signal Integrity.
