VRPW-10-20 High Speed Connector Design for 28 Gbps and Above

A Front Range Signal Integrity Lecture by Dave Dunham May 2013

"At 28 Gbps, everything matters," Dave says. He then walks us through the design process that balances not just electrical performance but mechanical, reliability, manufactureability and especially cost.

Sometimes the tiniest features in the stamped metal design can have dramatic impacts on manufactureability for injection molding and on electrical performance. This means that all aspects of the design have to be modeled and simulated. 

Hear about how he assembled his design team and the design flow they follow to successfully deliver a 28 Gbps capable interconnect system.
