Doug Smith will present a new updated course "Troubleshooting, verification and high frequency measurements in signal integrity and design for digital and analogue designers" on 2nd-3rd December 2004.

Following the huge success of its High-Speed Digital Engineering Week in June 2004, attended by more than 150 design engineers, Oxford University CPD Centre has announced the return of one of the course presenters, Doug Smith, who will be presenting his new updated course "Troubleshooting, verification, and high frequency measurements in signal integrity and design for digital and analogue designers" on 2nd and 3rd December 2004 This two-day course delivers practical knowledge for SI design troubleshooting and verification that can be used immediately on the job

The course material contains design tips and troubleshooting techniques developed by Smith, many of which are unpublished and have solved engineering problems in less than a day that were not solved by published methods with weeks or months of effort.

Electronics engineers from all fields will find this course useful.

How to measure signal and noise in high-speed digital and analogue circuits are covered in depth.

These measurements are then used to characterise high speed effects in electronic circuits including design verification and troubleshooting.

Sources of measurement error are discussed.

The measurement techniques are related to design issues to improve signal integrity, equipment EMC performance, and improve the overall reliability of electronic systems.

Emphasis is placed on delivering practical knowledge to signal integrity and circuit designers that can be used immediately on the job.

Some class time is reserved to discuss problems and interests of those attending.

Each course is modified to fit the interests of the attending students.

The full "High-speed digital design week" is planned to run again in 2005, and details will be available early next year.
