Standard Level - Live Instructor-Led Training
2 sessions (Live Online) 4 hours per session
PLEASE NOTE:
- This is a LIVE INSTRUCTOR-LED training event delivered ONLINE
- It covers the same scope and content as an in-person class and delivers comparable learning outcomes.
Important: You will find your overall experience and learning outcomes are much improved on this course by having active 2-way dialog with the course instructor, as well as interaction with other attendees. In that respect we highly recommend that you make provision for enabled webcams when attending.
Overview
This course is designed to provide expert guidance on developing a Power Distribution Network to meet the challenges posed by today’s high-speed digital ICs with demanding power requirements.
You will learn how to achieve uniform power distribution while avoiding voltage dropouts, PCB trace failures due to overloading, and problems that occur by choosing the wrong decoupling capacitors or by improperly using ferrite beads while achieving EMI compliance.
Joining this course, taught by highly regarded industry experts, enables you to confidently design your PCB boards to deliver the punch needed for high-speed systems.
This course is of value to engineers and designers who are looking for an introduction to high-speed system design.
- Design engineers
- System architects
- EMC specialists
- Signal integrity engineers
- Technicians
- PCB layout professionals
- Applications engineers
- IC designers
- IC package designers
- Test engineers
- PCB Fabricators
- Design & Engineering managers
Any engineering professional who works with high-speed design will understand the materials presented.
This course delivers the practical knowledge and design techniques that designers need to understand when designing a Power Distribution Network on a printed circuit board supporting today’s most advanced high-performance and high-power ICs.
You will learn what types of power system components, if incorrectly selected, can have extremely undesirable power system side effects.
Lastly, you’ll learn strategies for designing power delivery systems that yield reliable system designs.
This course includes:
- An electronic copy of the class slides in PDF format
- More than 120 articles and technical publications will be provided electronically to serve as a library for further reading.
Key points covered in this course are:
- Power delivery system big picture
- Power delivery system design introduction
- Characteristics of a good Power Delivery System (PDS)
- Conflicting demands placed on the PDS design process
- Steps in designing a power subsystem
- Sources of current demand from the PDS
- Components in the PDS
- Bypass capacitors, inductors and ferrite beads
- Inductance of connecting vias
- Capacitor mounting and placement
