Isola to Exhibit and Present at DesignCon 2016 in Booth 507
December 16, 2015 | IsolaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Now in its 21st year, DesignCon, which will be held in Santa Clara Convention Center on January 20-21, 2016, is the premier educational conference and technology exhibition for electronic design engineers in the high speed communications and semiconductor communities.
Join Isola in booth 507 to learn about the latest innovations in dielectric materials.
Join Isola at the following sessions during the show:
- A “Material” World, Modeling Dielectrics and Conductors for Interconnects Operating at 10-50 GBPS
- PCB-Substrate Characterization at Multigigahertz Frequencies Through SIW Measurements
- Characterizing Geometry-Dependent Crossover Frequency for Stripline Dielectric and Metal Losses
Taking place annually in Silicon Valley, DesignCon was created by engineers for engineers and remains the largest gathering of chip, board and systems designers in the country. Combining technical paper sessions, tutorials, industry panels, product demos and exhibits, DesignCon brings engineers the latest theories, methodologies, techniques, applications and demonstrations on PCB design tools, power and signal integrity, jitter and crosstalk, high-speed serial design, test and measurement tools, parallel and memory interface design, ICs, semiconductor components and more.
DesignCon enables chip, board and systems designers, software developers and silicon manufacturers to:
- Grow their design expertise
- Learn about and see the latest advanced design technologies and tools from top vendors in the industry
- Network with and gain inspiration from fellow engineers and design engineering experts

Designing Without a Rulebook: When Engineering Becomes Innovation
05/05/2026 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWhat if the very rules that made you successful as a PCB designer are the ones now holding you back? This reminds me of walking the floor and attending sessions at both PCB West 2025 and APEX EXPO 2026, where one common theme stood out: More designs with traditional PCB “best practices” simply don’t apply. It’s not because they’re wrong, but because the problems we’re solving have fundamentally changed. In some cases, those best practices can actually limit performance. This is where PCB design moves beyond optimization and into something far more challenging: designing without a rulebook.

Trouble in Your Tank: In Complex Systems, Design Rules Aren’t Optional
05/06/2026 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere is no question that the electronics industry, especially in circuit board design and fabrication, advanced packaging, and innovation throughout the value chain, has seen a significant transformation, whether it be in materials, system architecture, HDI and ultra HDI, semiconductors, or chiplets. AI and high-performance computing (HPC) are driving change across several fronts, including material properties, assembly techniques (think hybrid bonding), and power management.
