Rocky Mountain Chapter EMC Society

Our final meeting was....

PWB Power Structures - Theory and Design

Presenter: Dr. Todd Hubing from the University of Missouri,Rolla

Date : November 11th, 1999.

Times : 1:00pm - 4:30pm

Location: National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder Co. (Directions) Room 1107

What we saw:  The need for a good low impedance power distribution is vital to the performance of todays high-speed computing. It need not be said a great deal of lore is also involved especially in the area of decoupling. The RMCEMC had another blockbuster turn out of 54 people to listen to Dr. Hubing.The meeting kicked off with Rick Carbonneau giving the attendees a brief overview of the NCMS Embedded Capacitance project.  Dr Hubing then presented a 3 hour tutorial that covered cover the theoretical aspects of power bus design and the seemingly contradictory nature of EMC engineers who might favor a lossy system and Signal Integrity engineers that demand a very low impedance distribution. Dr. Hubing also went over sone of the performance data taken at the UMR EMC laboratory and finally presented some design guidelines.
