Live Webcast: Transmission Lines, Reflections, and Terminations - What You Should Know!
Traces between circuit board components are more than just copper. These interconnects have an inherent delay that, depending on the signal's edge rate, can cause signal integrity problems. The fast edge rates of today's smaller silicon nodes makes virtually every printed circuit board trace act like a transmission line, each with the potential for signal integrity issues.
In this web seminar, we will discuss what a PCB transmission line is and how it behaves electrically. We will investigate causes for PCB Reflections and how to control those reflections through impedance matching and termination. We will also demonstrate solutions to some common problems found on busses on a PCB.
What You Will Learn:
- What a transmission line is and how it behaves electrically
- Causes for reflections on your PCB, and how to control them through termination
- Solutions to some common bus problems on a PCB
Who Should Attend:
- Board designers
- Digital designers

Crosstalk is an abstract concept that can cause very real design failures, which can be difficult to reproduce, debug, and resolve. You will learn the basics of PCB crosstalk, including terminology, mathematical descriptions, and its sources in real designs. We’ll look at developing design rules based on signal integrity simulation, to prevent PCB crosstalk issues from impacting your design reliability and quality.
Live Webcast: Introduction to advanced debug features in Questa for SystemVerilogNo one argues that today’s designs are rapidly growing in both size and complexity. Often IP is brought together from multiple sources (both internal and external), and can involve multiple design languages. To increase productivity and quality, verification engineers are also adopting advanced techniques and methodologies such as ABV(Assertion Based Verification)and OVM/UVM (Open/Universal Verification Methodology) and using languages such as SystemC and SystemVerilog. This variation and complexity in the verification environment demands new automation and capabilities for effective debug.
