Class registration is now open! It's not too early to sign up for our Spring Institute classes in San Jose, CA.  Seating is limited, so register today.  This series of 2-day classes includes: Essential Principles of SI (EPSI) -- Apr. 13 & 14  Advanced Signal Integrity Design (ASID) -- Apr. 15 & 16 Signal Integrity Characterization Techniques (SICT) -- May 4 & 5 Multi Giga Bit Design (MGBD)  -- May 6 & 7 Intel employees in Penang, Malaysia can sign up for: Essential Principles of SI (EPSI) -- Mar. 9 & 10 Advanced Signal Integrity Design (ASID) -- Mar. 11 & 12 No Myths Allowed Webinars We're happy to announce the sponsorships of some of our most popular webinars. X2Y is sponsoring NMA-840, Selecting Capacitor Values for the PDN.  Normally available only for Subscribers, this webinar is available for all members to view for free until March 15.   Agilent Technologies is sponsoring NMA-850: Why You Should Care About Frequency-dependent Material Properties.  This webinar, based on Eric's paper which won a DesignCon 2010 "Best Paper" award, is available for all members to view for free until April 30.    Check This Out! PCB007 Design Workshop in Shanghai, China on March 17, 2010: “High-Speed Design for Signal Integrity”  This all day workshop  consists of four different lectures about signal integrity. If you work in high speed design, these lectures will be important in helping you eliminate signal integrity problems right from the beginning.  There will be something for every designer--from the beginner to the expert.    If you purchase a full license for Polar Si9000e PCB transmission line field solver between now and March 30th, Polar Instruments will credit you up to $2,100 to attend one of our Spring Institute classes in April or May.  Full details can be found at www.polarinstruments.com: Offers/Promotions. Eric will be speaking at the Huntsville Chapter of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society on the topic: “EMC 2010: SI and EMC – A Twisted Pair” on Tuesday, April 20th at the Von Braun Center.  Bogatin Enterprises is proud to announce the availability of the Essential Principles of Signal Integrity Certification Program! This 40-hour Professional Development curriculum, based on our popular EPSI classes and training materials, equips you with the skills needed to eliminate signal integrity problems from your designs. Learn the essential principles of SI on your own schedule from any convenient location and earn a BTS EPSI Professional Development Certificate! Eric's ever popular Appendix A, A Designer's Survival Guide to High Speed Signal Integrity Design, is now available for download to your Kindle or Kindle Reader iPhone app! What I Learned This Month Be sure to check out my blog to read about the new insights I’ve gained and the new technologies I've heard about from my many colleagues that help solve signal integrity problems. This blog is a forum for me to share some of my new insights collected each month, and a chance for all my fellow signal integrity engineers out there in cyber space to share your questions and insights with me at doctorisin@bethesignal.com.

Our materials illustrate how rules of thumb, approximations, and commercially available simulation tools can be used to quickly and efficiently solve signal integrity problems. We leverage TDR and VNA instruments with analysis tools to demonstrate how to fully characterize and 'hack' into interconnects to identify their limitations and optimize performance. For 20 years, Bogatin Enterprises has been setting the standard in signal integrity training.
