When: Thurs., January 10, 2019
Time: 10:00AM - 1:00PM (Including Lunch)
Where: Teledyne LeCroy
765 Sycamore Dr.
Milpitas, CA 95035
In this seminar we will be looking at characterizing PDN pollution, spectral analysis, time-domain vs frequency domain and their relationship tracking down PDN noise. Knowing what to look for and how to minimize these problems will give you more accurate measurements. Furthermore, we will tackle typical challenges that you are faced with when working with Power Rails, such as noise, RF pickup & probing.
