Keeping up to date with the technological advancements in the PCB
Design industry is of critical importance to both development engineers
and their managers alike. This is especially the case with high-speed
design and specifically in the areas of Signal Integrity, EMI and
manufacturing issues. However, traditional training methods are
very often inappropriate in this highly technical and specialized
field. To overcome this problem, Zuken has introduced the EMC Training
System, an on-line, interactive training system for high-speed PCB
design engineers.
Zuken's
EMC Training System offers:
-
Training on demand at the engineer's desk
-
Computer based training using web technology
-
Practical examples delivered interactively
-
Illustrated design practice and easy to follow guidelines
-
Flexible content and easy, regular updates
-
Reduced training costs
-
Independance from location and time constraints
The
embedded online background materials include explanations of the
fundamentals of transmission lines and printed circuit boards, as
well as information on EMC effects relating to signal integrity,
design rule guidelines and also a range of technical papers. The
interactive elements of the system allow engineers to change physical
and some electrical characteristics of conductors and other printed
circuit board or device parameters, either by entering numerical
data or by using a mouse to adjust physical sizes and spacings in
the browser window. The resulting impedance changes for instance
are automatically charted in real-time. Conductor width and length,
conductor spacing, substrate height, substrate material data, terminal
impedances and characteristics of the transmitting signal are just
some of the parameters with which the engineer can experiment.
Zuken's
EMC Training System, developed in conjunction with the Fraunhofer
Institut IZM Paderborn, Germany, supports hands-on learning to solve
practical state-of-the-art design problems. Interaction is supported
at various levels. Through real design examples and the use of design
analysis methods, the trainee gains practical knowledge about the
analysis procedure for SI and EMC effects under certain boundary
conditions.
The
EMC Training System covers everything from basic principles right
up to the latest perceptions in the areas of EMC-adequate design
of PCBs and MCMs. Constant updates guarantee the latest information
and learning modules are available on CD-ROM and via the internet
and have even been combined in a net-based training system. The
EMC Training System is easy to install and to license and requires
minimal maintenance on the customer side. An installation in the
customer's Intranet is also an option.
Support
is available via Zuken's EMC Training Centre in Paderborn, Germany.
