1. 1 Final Presentation Stas G.Alex A. guided by Meir Nakar

2. 2 Goals Introduction to Signal Integrity Build a PCB to demonstrate SI phenomena Prepare an experiment lab

3. 3 Phases & Goals Theory Study and Practice Hardware and Software Tools (TDR, ICX) SI Design – Exercise Preparation Schematic, Layout and Fabrication PCB Wide Set of Measurements and Simulations Building an Academic High Speed Experiment Lab 1st semester 2nd semester

4. 4 Theory Signal integrity concepts : Capacitance and inductance Crosstalk: mutual capacitance and mutual inductance Termination: end, middle and source Other termination topologies: bifurcated lines Daisy chaining

5. 5 Hardware and Software Tools TDR ICX

6. 6 SI Design Ten test-cases demonstrate various SI phenomena Each case has specific topology

11. 11 Lab Structure... ICX practice TDR practice Theory and questions TDR study ICX study

12. 12 Introduction to the signal integrity world Basic elements: capacitance and inductance Reflection Terminations Transmission line topologies Questions Theory and Questions

13. 13 TDR Study General overview TDR vs. Oscilloscope Precautions TDR capabilities and functions

14. 14 ICX Study & Practice ICX as a simulation tool Building circuits in ICX electrical editor: –Inserting new devices –Creating connections Changing parameters in ICX: –Resistance of line –Device model Basic simulations

15. 15 ICX Practice... 1st part ~3 hours Three test cases: –Capacitance experiment –Reflection - end termination –Bifurcated lines

16. 16 Tasks and simulations Comprehensive questions Summary questions Detailed instructions

17. 17 TDR Practice... 2nd part of the lab ~5 hours Four test-cases: –End termination –Bifurcated lines –Capacitance measure –Inductance measure

18. 18 TDR Practice (Continued) Assignments Step by step instructions

19. 19 TDR Practice Assignments and questions

20. 20 Recommendations Performing the lab by a group that Signal Integrity field is new for them, so are TDR and ICX tools
