High-Speed Digital Engineering at Oxford
Following the success of their High Speed Digital Engineering Week Oxford University CPD Centre has updated its Troubleshooting, Verification, and High Frequency Measurements course.
Following the success of their High-Speed Digital Engineering Week in June 2004, which was attended by over 150 design engineers, Oxford University CPD Centre has announced the return of one of the course presenters, Doug Smith, who will be presenting his new updated course: Troubleshooting, Verification, and High Frequency Measurements in Signal Integrity and Design for Digital and Analogue Designers on 2 - 3 December 2004 This two-day course delivers practical knowledge for SI design troubleshooting and verification that can be used immediately on the job

Car navigation and telematics tested automatically
Today's automobile is already a vast network of interconnected silicon chips, controlling everything from airbags to engines operations. Alfautomazione has systems to test them.
The course material contains design tips and troubleshooting techniques developed by Mr Smith, many of which are unpublished and yet have solved engineering problems in less than a day that were not solved by published methods.
Electronic engineers from all fields will find this course useful.
How to measure signal and noise in high-speed digital and analogue circuits is covered in depth.
These measurements are then used to characterize high speed effects in electronic circuits including design verification and troubleshooting.
Sources of measurement error are discussed.
The measurement techniques are related to design issues to improve signal integrity, equipment EMC performance, and improve the overall reliability of electronic systems.
Emphasis is placed on delivering practical knowledge to SI and circuit designers that can be used immediately on the job.
Some class time is reserved to discuss problems and interests of those attending.
Each course is modified to fit the interests of the attending students.
The full High-Speed Digital Design Week is planned to run again in 2005 and details will be available early next year.
For details of the Troubleshooting, Verification, and High Frequency Measurements in SI and Design course, access to technical newsletters and all other courses run by Oxford University, see their website.
