Contents
• Introduction to signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) • Signal distribution networks (SDNs) and power delivery networks (PDNs) in electronic systems • Role of electronic packaging and heterogeneous integration technologies on signal and power integrity (SIPI) and EMC • Basic electromagnetic field and circuit theories for SIPI and EMC • SI: Analysis of single-ended and differential signal paths of SDNs • PI: Analysis of impedance, inductance and capacitance of PDNs • EMC: Analysis of coupling and undesired radiation • EMC & SIPI: Introduction to design methodologies for SIPI and EMC
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the module, students will be acquainted with a) root causes of signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues in electronic systems, b) basic electromagnetic field and circuit concepts for analysis of SI, PI and EMC issues, especially in electronic packaging for radio frequency (RF) and high-speed systems.
Assessment
• Oral exam, 30-45 min. OR • Written exam, 90 min. In the first lectures it will be announced whether the examination will be conducted in written or oral form.
