Classes: On-Site

Our SI Rock Star class will your team up to speed and ready to go.

Our on-site courses offer the most flexability and the most in-depth hands-on Signal Integrity training available on the market today. We introduce a methodology on how to use Signal Integrity simulation and theory to enhance your design knowledge and implement a Signal Integrity flow into your work flow.

Our SI Rock Star class can be customized to meet your needs and schedule. We offer 1 to 5 day courses that include a variety of topics including:

IO Buffer Design and Modeling. SPICE, IBIS, and Macro models and how to quality check and simulate them. IO buffer design from single-ended to differential signaling. IO buffer design parameters including output impedance, slew rate, capacitance. Labs include SPICE and IBIS modeling.

Interconnects. Packages,PCB traces, vias, and connectors. Review of characteristic impedance and common PCB structures with equations. Introduction to field solvers and usage cases. PCB stackup design and analysis. Overview of crosstalk and impact on noise and timing analysis. Labs include PCB stackup design and exploration and crosstalk simulations.

Noise and Timing Analysis. Putting everything together and running analysis on simulation data. Overview of noise margin and how to setup a budget and perform analysis through single measurements and eye diagrams. Design exploration of what causes noise in a system from DC and AC losses. Review of synchronous and source synchronous clocking architectures and how to calcualate setup and hold times. Differential signaling analysis using eye diagrams. Labs include PCI, DDR2, and LVDS simulation and analysis exercises.

Special Topics. Depending on your needs we can cover in-depth topics like S-Parameters, via design, IBIS model generation, SerDes Simulation including IBIS-AMI, and more.
