The Hidden Schematic by William Kimmel, PE Kimmel Gerke Associates, Ltd. Date: September 11th, 2006 Time: 6:30 pm - pizza social, 6:55 pm - business meeting, 7:00 pm - presentation (1.5 hrs) Location: College Hilltop Library, 3645 W. 112th Ave., Westminster, CO, Room L107 (first floor) Abstract: Increasing speeds and lower supply voltages have placed greater demands on signal paths and terminations. Textbooks cover impedance control and terminations quite well, but we find that most signal problems occur with the parasitic parameters that are not discussed in the books. This paper discusses some of the most common problems that are created by not paying attention to the "Hidden Schematic."
