Until relatively recent times digital PCB design (and especially when prototyping) could be viewed as simply a means to electrically interconnect components and unless you designed RF circuits there was little else to worry about. Prototyping), is now is a very common cause of a loss of signal integrity. Since we only had an Common ongoing problems seen include not properly transitioning between different types of transmission line structures, having gaps in ground planes underneath signals, not optimizing connector footprints to PCB (field match and impedance match), and many more. It takes years of experience to learn all of the practices and is an on-going learning experience with today's technological advancements. The Kontron submission described the challenges its CAD team faced in designing the Kontron KTC5520-EATX server board. Cadence offered to sponsor Robert Hanson for the three-day event in order to give PCB design customers additional background in signal and power integrity. At these high transmission rates, signal integrity issues become increasingly restrictive on PCB trace and cable lengths, and on design implementation and features. Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design, Author: Douglas Brooks. However the PCB itself, or the means of connecting the components used (i.e. PCB Design Guideline Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design is not a skill that can be mastered overnight. When electrons move down a trace or a wire, current flows. My co-presenter was Michael Ingham, of Spectrum Integrity, whose design firm is highly focused on challenging RF/MW and High Performance PCBs. There's a reason the finished For example, one "class" of rules may define impedance controlled signals within the design - another may define power supply circuitry, or RF circuitry requirements. By Douglas Brooks – Current is the flow of electrons.
