The Shaughnessy Report: The Designer of Tomorrow
Designers Notebook: Impact of Advanced Semiconductor Packaging on PCB Stackup
Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Stackup Strategies—Minimizing Crosstalk and EMI for Signal Integrity
Cascade Chapter Designers Council Meeting is June 12
June 6, 2019 | IPC Designers Council, Cascade ChapterEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Cascade Chapter of the IPC Designers Council will be meeting on June 12. This evening event is free, with dinner sponsored by Mentor. Don't miss out on this great educational opportunity to advance your knowledge and design skills.
The guest speaker is Robert Hanson, and electrical engineer and signal integrity design instructor. He will present Achieving Signal Integrity and Meeting EMI Radiation Requirements Using High-Speed Connectors.
Robert will be showing examples of connectors that have poor control of EMI radiation/immunity, which are also affected by mutual inductance and high signal reflection. Next, examples of adding ground pins will be shown that in turn enhance capability. The ground blade connector will be shown with different signal/ground pin configurations to show comparative transmission capabilities. Two widely used high-speed connectors for circuit cards and backplanes will be compared. A method to interface a connector to a land trace to eliminate reflections will follow. Finally, a connector that passed radiated emissions up to 500MHz will be discussed.
Date
Wednesday June 12, 2019
Time
6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location
Lake Washington Institute of Technology - Kirkland Campus. The meeting will be held in room A102 in the Southeast corner of the building on the 1st floor.

January 2025 Issue of Design007 Magazine: The Designer of the Future
01/13/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamAs we enter the new year, it’s a great time to be a PCB designer. The job is more complex than ever, and a lot of fun too. We can only wonder what the PCB designers of 1975 would think about the typical PCB designer’s workday. What will the designers' job be like for the next generations?
The Shaughnessy Report: The Designer of Tomorrow
01/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s a great time to be a PCB designer. The job is more complex than ever, but it's also a lot of fun. We can only wonder what the PCB designers of 1975 would think about today’s typical workday. What will the designer's job look like in the future? There has been a move toward working remotely, driven partly by the COVID pandemic and partly by reality: Many experienced designers simply will not relocate, even for a more lucrative job.
