Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

SiSoft to Lead Signal Integrity Boot Camp at DesignCon 2017
January 30, 2017 | SiSoftEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Signal Integrity Software Inc. will present the full-day signal integrity training session “Pragmatic Signal Integrity” at DesignCon 2017 on Tuesday, January 31. DesignCon will be taking place at the Santa Clara Convention Center January 31-February 2, 2017.
The boot camp will be led by SiSoft’s own 2015 DesignCon Engineer of the Year, Michael Steinberger, and will feature multiple presenters including signal integrity experts from SiSoft as well as Donald Telian of SiGuys.
A typical signal integrity project can involve a dozen or more models of several different types and involve at least three different analysis/simulation methods. Through interactive demonstration of the development of a typical SI project, this tutorial will offer attendees the disciplines needed to manage this complexity and consistently produce trustworthy results. This tutorial emphasizes the typical problems encountered, with each problem solved as a class exercise.
