No Myths Allowed webinars

We're happy to announce the sponsorships of some of our most popular webinars.

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.

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.

Our next webinar, NMA-850: Why You Should Care About Frequency-dependent Material Properties, sponsored by Agilent Technologies, is scheduled for February 25th, 1pm Eastern. Registration is free, but to participate you must register to attend no later than 12 noon Eastern on February 23, 2010.

Word is just now getting out about Eric's new book, "Signal and Power Integrity - Simplified". Just released in August, you can order your copy NOW from Prentice Hall. Also, don't miss the latest installment of SI Insights – Edition #7 is now available.

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.

Setting the Standard in SI Training

Bogatin Enterprises specializes in making complex signal integrity topics easy to understand while strengthening engineering intuition. 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.
