Three Mutually Required and Competing Perspectives for Printed Circuit Engineering Success: Solvability, Performance, and Manufacturability
Overview: Design For X:
• DFSolvability - Solving dense and miniature (HDI) High Density Interconnect
• DFPerformance - Performance issues for EMI/EMC and (SI) Signal Integrity used on (HSD) High Speed Digital and (RF) Radio Frequencies
• DFManufacturability - Manufacturability, Reliability, and Producibility
Attendees will walk away with real world applications for success. They will receive an understanding of how to implement proactive solutions rather than reactive responses. Meeting these competing perspectives without compromising any one of them must be considered because they all play a part in the design, manufacturing, and performance of our end products. The focus will be on practical application and implementation using real world examples.
Entrepreneur, Industry Management, or Subject Matter Expert? What’s your aspiration?
One is not better than the other, and not everyone is suited for each of these roles.
We all have thoughts, goals, and plans to find our professional fulfillment and personal satisfactions within our careers. Do we understand what it takes to achieve these goals?
