Overview
What you will study
Signal integrity has been around for a few decades and it has matured into a discipline that many may think does not hold any new surprises. On the contrary, people actively working in the field find new challenges and revelations on a daily basis.
The Resetting Your Signal Integrity Knowledge course offered by University of Oxford is taught by a practitioner of successful high-speed electronics with many years of successful designs as well as teaching in academia.
You will learn the important fundamentals of the subject as well as little-known tricks to enhance your knowledge.
Each major topic starts with a brief overview of the basics, followed by a unique blend of live measurements and simulations to illustrate challenges, constraints, limitations and available solutions.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Why SI engineers need to know also the basics of PI and EMC.
- Illustrations of how these disciplines can interact in unexpected ways in our designs.
- Impedance, reflections, matching
- PCB and cable constructions
- Discontinuities
- Everything you need to know about losses
- Crosstalk
- Differential signaling
- System SI and material properties and process details
- SI measurements
- Important rules to keep in mind for simulations.
- Simple and tricky pitfalls to avoid in selecting, creating and validating models.
- The challenges of and helpful suggestions for correlations.
- Modeling temperature effects, roughness, dielectric loss.
- Mixed dielectrics.
- Reliability and life expectancy of components.
- Explaining and analyzing nuances of laminate material and component data sheets to which we must pay attention.
