Eric Bogatin's signal integrity training classes have started off with a bang this year. The three new classes in our High Speed Serial Link series, sold out in their first public offering. The hands on labs with each class have been a huge hit.

The next round of classes will be in Santa Clara, the week of May 16. The classes will be:

SPSI: S-Parameters for SI applications, May 16, presented at the Granit River Labs headquarters in Santa Clara.

EPSI: Essential Principles of SI, May 17-18

PDN: PDN Design, May 20

Seating is limited and these classes will sell out. To assure your seat, register now at http://www.beTheSignal.com. Each of these classes has hands on labs, so bring your laptop to participate in class.

Eric will also be presenting a special 1-day workshop for the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the IEEE EMC Society on Measuring and Modeling PDN Components. It will show how to measure milliohms of impedance into the GHz regime and what to do with the information when applied to VRMs, capacitors and vias. In particular, half the day will be devoted to understanding the impedance properties of planes. This is a great complement to the 1-day PDN class, held the next day.

Finally, in partnership with Polar Instruments Asia Pacific, Eric will be in Asia in late April, presenting a lecture tour in Penang, Singapore and Seoul. Here is my schedule:
April 26-27th: Essential Principles of Signal Integrity in Penang, Malaysia. Register
April 28th: Differential Pair Design in Penang, Malaysia. Register
May 3rd: Essential Principles of Signal Integrity Part 1 in Seoul, South Korea. Register
May 5-6th: Essential Principles of Signal Integrity in Singapore. Register
