Signal Integrity, In Practice – 2-day class, with follow-up!
Learn the two sides of new school signal integrity in Telian’s LIVE SI Masterclass: 3-min video intro, 29-min detail
This class exists to inform Hardware and SI engineers about what you need to do to achieve Signal Integrity, in Practice. “Doubling data rate isn’t something to be afraid of, it’s simply what we do,” says your instructor, Donald Telian, who has doubled data rate more than a dozen times throughout his 40-year career. After solving SI for every kind of electronic product and often pioneering how its SI will be achieved, Telian is stepping out of his design cave to teach this 2-day class detailing the essentials of SI. Launching topics from the primary causes of SI failures, Telian quickly guides the class from what should I worry about to how to fix it. This class removes SI mystery using a blend of instruction, hands-on exercises, and follow-up office hours to ensure attendees succeed when they return to their desks and projects.
“’Signal Integrity requires engineering judgment…you will consistently be asked to craft answers from insufficient data based on ill-defined measures of success.’ This just about summarizes Donald Telian’s Signal Integrity in Practice. It is what is left out of most textbooks. It is the stuff you would learn if you worked at a company with your desk next to a guru who has been doing this for forty years.” –Eric Bogatin (read Eric’s full review)
Class Includes:
- 2 days of instruction
- Serial Link SI: Signal Delivery & Recovery
- Book: “Signal Integrity, In Practice”
- Hands-on labs that reinforce concepts
- After class follow up ‘office hours’ with Telian
- 5 Meals and even a 5k run!
This class makes SI skills and success accessible to Hardware Engineers by focusing on what makes designs work, in practice. The class includes follow-up “SI Coaching” to ensure attendees succeed applying SI concepts when they get back to their desks.
The class is offered geographically, or on-site at your corporate location.
About the Instructor
Donald Telian has been an SI Craftsman for more than 40 years. He has invented SI concepts, methods, tools, and standards for the electronics industry – a proven track record of pioneering and defining Signal Integrity. Donald has practiced SI in the context of System Design, IC Design, and EDA, resolving SI for hundreds of products, interfaces, and design teams all over the globe. He is uniquely positioned to speak to the skills you need to succeed in SI.
Additional Training Classes
Pragmatic Signal Integrity
A new type of instruction for a new era of Signal Integrity, this full-day class features interactive engineering exercises solved real-time by attendees. Recognizing that “the basics” of SI has changed over the years, the class moves quickly from foundational concepts and terms to complex topics such as optimizing equalization. Pragmatic Signal Integrity teaches you the skills you need to succeed designing today’s hardware.
Simplifying Serial Link Design and Standards
There are thousands of pages of serial standards to wade through, yet they’re all similar electrically. This one-day class helps engineers quickly understand how to succeed with the design and validation of serial interfaces by detailing the similarities and nuances of the various standards, with particular focus on PCIe, Ethernet, and SAS/SATA.
