The Santa Clara Valley Chapter of IEEE's EMC Society (www.scvemc.org) is presenting:
Membership not required, all welcome When: Tuesday, November 9th, 1999. Where: Silicon Graphics’ Café Iris, Building 5, 2025 Stierlin Court in Mountain View, CA. Time 7:30pm - 9:30pm. Topic: "Modeling Simultaneous Switching Currents in the Z-axis Direction of VLSI Packages and PCB's. These currents are the primary source of SSO and EMI noise." Speaker: Dr. Richard Wheeler Details: Dr. Wheeler will show the importance of modeling z-axis noise in VLSI packages, sockets and PCB's. This noise, also known as SSO noise, is a major contributor to high performance system failure during debug and bringup due to inadequate modeling or noise analysis during design, as well as a source for EMI. The talk will: 1. Show a theoretical basis for SSO models. 2. Include examples for SSO reduction in VLSI packages. 3. Discuss why thick PCB's are a major contributor of SSO noise. 4. Present a quantitative example using SPICE models to illustrate methodology. 5. Give practical suggestions to simplify models and shorten computer computation time. 6. Discuss Conclusions. 7. Q&A. BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Wheeler started his own consulting business, Wheeler Enterprises, in Nov. 1996, after managing R&D departments at Hewlett Packard Laboratories and Fujitsu Computer Packaging Technologies. He played a key role in inventing a new type of interconnect between VLSI chips and PC boards. The new interconnect will allow computer CPUs to operate at clock frequencies well above 1000 MHz. He developed the tools to predict and measure the hardware performance and submitted thirteen patent disclosures relating to high speed interconnect. He is currently a consultant to mid and senior level management regarding CMOS design, signal integrity and VLSI packaging issues. He has over 26 years experience in industrial management, research, and hardware development including: -Employee 5 in startup company, managing R&D activity. -Technology design of high speed super computers, mainframes and workstations. -Bipolar and CMOS circuit, process and equipment design. -High-speed networking: physical layer and OS interface. -Authored 14 patents and a technical paper. -Ph.D. in E.E. and Solid State Physics.
