TECHNICAL COURSES AND SEMINARS

HIGH-SPEED DIGITAL DESIGN SEMINAR

THERMAL MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

including best-practice PCB Layout and EMI-EMC

at PCB and system level

The speed of todays logic devices mandates that the

interconnects on PCBs must meet the high switching rise/fall
times of these devices. Switching edges are in the 200ps to
300ps range and some devices have edges that have broken
the 100ps barrier. This has resulted in high-speed design
problems such as: reflections, crosstalk, false triggers, and EMI.

The aim of this workshop is to provide delegates with a

comprehensive understanding of the principles and practice of
thermal management in electronic systems. It brings into focus
the problems, and solutions, of designing PCBs for the thermal
environment, and will show how to achieve this by the use of
practical examples.

Join us for a seminar that gives engineers and designers the

ability to properly design right the first time. The course
provides valuable knowledge to recognize the problems with
any proposed high-speed design. It includes up-to-date design
methodologies to insure that the PCB will function within the
shortest design cycle. The course emphasizes cost competitive
design without sacrificing high-speed integrity.

Occasions to gain such detailed insight into practical design

techniques are rare these days. This Technology Workshop is
truly a unique opportunity to gain invaluable insight into the
depth of the subject. PCB hardware design engineers,
electronics engineers and managers with responsibility for the
thermal design of electronic hardware should attend this
valuable workshop.

IPC CERTIFICATION FOR PCB DESIGNERS

ALTIUM ADVANCED

The IPC Designer Council is an international society of designers

whose mission is to facilitate and promote the orderly
exchange and integration of design concepts concerning PCBs
and related technologies.

This 4 day face to face course explores in-depth topics to

advance the students knowledge of Altium Designer Schematic
Capture and PCB Layout tools. The material covered will enable
students to use more complex Altium Designer capabilities such
as pin swapping and length tuning. Lectures, demonstrations
and more than 20 hands-on exercises are used to explain and
reinforce these advanced techniques.

The course aimed at PCB design professionals who need

recognition of their skills and confirmation that the knowledge
they have gained through experience adheres to internationally
accepted standards for PCB design. The course is also aimed at
companies that wish to achieve recognized international design
standardization in printed board design, printed board
assembly and related design technologies.
The program assesses a designer's knowledge of how to
transform a schematic into a reliable PCB which can be easily
manufactured, assembled and tested.

ALTIUM VAULTS
Getting your product to market is a process that is so much
more than simply designing a board, and involves so many
more people than just designers. Altium Vaults unify your
organizations components, design data, and environments
from inside the Altium Designer interface for your whole
organization so you are able to get your product to market
faster, without sacrificing integrity.
