This one day lecture – demo event will be a great chance to apply the Essential Principles of Signal & Power Integrity to real world measurement examples. We will illustrate best measurement practices through live demonstrations using oscilloscopes, probes and test boards.
All attendees* will receive a 3 month complimentary subscription to the Teledyne LeCroy Signal Integrity Academy courtesy of Stefan Wierzoch, Teledyne LeCroy, and Ward Davis Associates.
AGENDA
10:00AM – Registration
10:30AM – 12:00PM
What Every Oscilloscope User Needs to Know About Transmission Lines
In this session, Eric will introduce you to the five simple, yet essential principles of signal integrity which we will apply to understanding how to interpret scope measurements from DC to > 1 GHz bandwidth. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of transmission lines and why this is so important in any scope measurement.
12:00PM – 12:30PM
Lunch - provided courtesy of Teledyne LeCroy
12:30PM – 2:00PM
Don't Let Ground Bounce Ruin Your Day
Cross talk will always be lowest when the signals use a continuous return path. But not all interconnects provide a continuous return path. In packages, connectors, vias and gaps in planes, the return path has discontinuities. In these cases, and when multiple signals share the same return path, the cross talk will be much higher than for a uniform plane. We call this sort of cross talk, ground bounce. We will introduce the most important fundamental principles of ground bounce, how to measure it and how to avoid it in your next design. If you care about ground bounce, and everyone should, this seminar is for you.
2:00PM – 3:30PM
Real Time Spectral Analysis of Power Rail Noise
While the real world is the time domain, sometimes we can gain insight about the origin of problems by looking in the frequency domain. The time domain and frequency domain properties of power rail noise are a little different than for digital signals. For some types of components, such as analog parts, mixed signal or clock generation, very low levels of power rail noise can have a big impact on performance. Sometimes the best way of finding these noise sources is by frequency domain analysis. We will discuss best measurement practices using real-time oscilloscopes to analyze power rail noise in the time and frequency domains to provide insight into the root cause of the problems.
