Signal Integrity, In Practice – 2-day class, with follow-up!
Upcoming Live Classes in Boston, Denver, and Silicon Valley! Register now to attend Telian’s 2024 ‘out of the design cave’ tour! Masterclass Videos: 3-min intro, 29-min detail
In the realm of electronics hardware design, Signal Integrity is a unique skill because it requires craftsmanship. That’s right, SI tools do not provide the answers, you do. But how do you build the skills to make challenging SI decisions?
“’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
- “Back at your desk” on-call SI Coaching hours
- 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.
