Morning Session: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Common PCB Layout Errors that Cause Products to Fail to Meet EMC Requirements
Presenter: Dr. Todd Hubing
In the growing number of products that must meet all of their EMC requirements on the first test pass, printed circuit board (PCB) layout can be an arduous process that requires an advanced level of expertise. But while laying out a board that is guaranteed to comply is difficult, designing a board that is likely to comply is something that can be done by most product engineers with a little training and experience. Good circuit board layout is mostly a matter of recognizing potential problem areas and maintaining control of unwanted coupling paths. This presentation steps through the process of reviewing printed circuit board layouts for EMC compliance. It identifies common mistakes that are often responsible for EMC problems and provides guidelines for avoiding these mistakes.
Lunch & Exhibits: 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Afternoon Session: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Signal Integrity Designs for 56Gb/s and Beyond
Presenter: Dr. Jun Fan
Interconnects are moving toward a higher speed of 56 to 100 Gb/s data rate in a single physical channel, to meet the requirements of various emerging applications hunger for data communications. This presents significant challenges in high-speed designs to ensure signal and power integrity as well as mitigate electromagnetic radiation. This talk will discuss some promising new technologies in packaging, power delivery, signal encoding, PCB/connector measurement and modeling, etc., that may help the industry to achieve the design objectives for the next generation interconnects. A few examples will be discussed in detail to demonstrate the challenges and progress. In addition, some measurement and modeling methodologies for signal integrity will be introduced. The following is a general outline:
- Challenges and design difficulties for higher data rate
- PCB material characterization and measurement techniques for high-speed channel
- Via modeling methodologies and applications in PCB and package
- PAM4 channel analysis
- Evaluations of possible solutions for new challenges
Reception & Exhibits: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
There will be an exhibition by vendors of EMC design, test and measurement products and services. During the reception in the exhibit area, heavy appetizers and beverages will be served. You are welcome to attend the reception only at NO CHARGE, provided a registration form is submitted in advance. Thus, if you can't join us for the entire day, drop by for the reception and exhibition to network with the speakers and attendees as well as vendors. You might even win a raffle prize! Anyone who ONLY wishes to attend the Reception & Exhibits must register here.
Biographies
Dr. Todd Hubing is a Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University and President of LearnEMC. Dr. Hubing holds a BSEE degree from MIT, an MSEE degree from Purdue University and a Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. He was an engineer at IBM for 7 years and a faculty member at the University of Missouri-Rolla for 17 years before joining Clemson University in 2006. As the Michelin Professor of Vehicle Electronics at Clemson, he established the Clemson Vehicular Electronics Laboratory where he supervised research projects and taught classes in vehicle electronics, electromagnetic compatibility and digital signal integrity. At LearnEMC, he provides EMC instruction, consulting and design assistance to engineers working in the automotive, a erospace and consumer electronics industries. Dr. Hubing has authored or co-authored over 200 papers and presentations on electromagnetic modeling, electromagnetic compatibility and the design of reliable electronic systems. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEE), a Fellow of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society, and a Past-President of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society.
Dr. Jun Fan (S’97-M’00-SM’06-F’16) received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla in 2000. From 2000 to 2007, he worked for NCR Corporation, San Diego, CA, as a Consultant Engineer. In July 2007, he joined the Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly University of Missouri-Rolla), and is currently a Professor and Director of the Missouri S&T EMC Laboratory. Dr. Fan also serves as the Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Senior Investigator of Missouri S&T Material Research Center. His research interests include signal integrity and EMI designs in high-speed digital systems, dc power-bus modeling, intra-system EMI and RF interference, PCB noise reduction, differential signaling, and cable/connector designs. In the IEEE EMC Society, Dr. Fan served as the Chair of the TC-9 Computational Electromagnetics Committee from 2006 to 2008, the Chair of the Technical Advisory Committee from 2014 to 2016, and a Distinguished Lecturer in 2007 and 2008. He currently is an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility and IEEE EMC Magazine. Dr. Fan received an IEEE EMC Society Technical Achievement Award in August 2009.
